List of British Jewish nobility and gentry

The peerage is a legal system of largely hereditary titles, granted by the British sovereign.

Under this system, only the senior family member bears a substantive title (duke, marquess, earl, viscount, baron).

The gentry are generally untitled members of the upper classes, however, exceptions include baronets, knights, dames, Scottish feudal barons and lairds.

The first written record of Jewish settlement in England dates from 1070, although Jews may have lived there since Roman times.

After the expulsion, there was no Jewish community (apart from individuals who practised Judaism secretly) until the rule of Oliver Cromwell.
