A plaque is being unveiled in Norwich to commemorate the 17 jewish people whose bones were uncovered during an excavation in the city.

The skeletons, thought to date back to the 12th century, were found when the Chapelfield shopping centre was being built in 2004. They were later buried in the city's Jewish cemetery.

I remember reading about this when they were discovered, to think 11 of the 17 people were children .
