1655 We meet there in secret, the handful of Jews who live in this part of London and know of one another. We live not as Jews, but disguised as Spaniards because Jews have not been allowed to live in England since 1290. In 1290, there was no tolerance for any religion except Catholicism and all Jews were expelled by Edward I.

1408 There has been frost for fourteen weeks straight and everything is starving. The Thames has frozen solid…..Everyone, everything, is starving, but it is the birds that are dying. They die fast and the songbirds go first, all the delicate notes of the thrushes and blackbirds stopped in their throats. They drop from the trees, songless. They fall from the railings of the bridge onto the frozen river below.
