Bates (1882-1962) Lincoln, England....... The Jew’s House is one of the earliest extant town houses in England. It is situated on Steep Hill in Lincoln, immediately below Jew’s Court. The house has traditionally been associated with the thriving Jewish community in Medieval Lincoln. Antisemitic hysteria was stoked by a notorious 1255 blood libel alleging that the mysterious death of a Christian child, known as Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, was the result of him being kidnapped and ritually killed by Jews. In 1290, the entire Jewish community was expelled from England by Edward I, and the Jew’s House is said to have been seized from a Jewish owner. The building has remained continuously occupied to the present day. Since about 1973 it has been used as a restaurant; prior to that it had been an antiques shop for many years. Marjorie Christine Bates R.A. (1882–1962) was born in Kings Newton, near Melbourne, Derbyshire. She was a painter who exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and Paris and achieved a moderate living from her paintings. ����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Est. $5-10 Ephemera - Autographs - Notable Business People New York 1175 1175 Benjamin Altman Signed 1904 Check from Chemical Bank, Founder of B.
