Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation - Synagogue Prayer Hall

Built in 1911, in a style described as a very contemporary ‘Art Nouveau take on the Moorish Revival Style’. The Prayer Hall has brick walls under a pitched slate roof, designed with four symmetrical bays of barrel vault design, with the adjacent entrance via a squat tower with a square domed cupola, originally clad in lead. The combination of stained glass, lighting and seating arrangement make it a visually strong interior.

The building complex has undergone many extensions and alterations. The Prayer Hall itself re-opened in 1962, following sympathetic extensions which were carried out to reflect the style of the original.
