Grunfeld and Isaac Wolfson Esq.. The Synagogue was actually built facing north rather than east (towards Jerusalem). * The community centre was consecrated on 8 September 1963. The Freeman Susman Hall (above the community centre) is actually bigger than the main synagogue itself. * The corridor between the main synagogue and the community centre was widened in an extension in 2002. As part of the extension a garden was established at the front of the building. * The synagogue added a lift in 2008 so that disabled members could access all parts of the building. * In 2014 the main shul was refurbished as well as half of the classrooms. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stanmore and Canons Park Synagogue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
