The Sternberg Centre for Judaism (also known as Finchley Manor House, Basings Manor, Bibbsworth Manor, Manor House School)

Introduction

All that remains of the once extensive moat is a dry L-shaped ditch at the far end of the grounds. The current building dates from 1723, built for Sir Thomas Allen on a new site outside the moat, who also had gardens laid out. In 1984 the Manor House Centre for Judaism was opened, later renamed the Sternberg Centre for Judaism.
