Abstract	The past decade has seen a growth in interest in medieval Anglo-Jewish studies. That has seen a number of mainstream medievalists touch on the topic as part of isolated publications, as well as a growing number of scholars specialising in the area. That new generation of scholarship has been less reliant on printed calendars of documents and has, instead, been more adventurous in their use of sources. This panel will seek to explore the ways in which the Jews of medieval have been remembered in the centuries since the Expulsion of the Jews from England (1290), and how they continue to be perceived.
