Notable Jewish Connections with
Greenwich
-
Sir David Salomons (1797-1873), a founder of the London and Westminster Bank
and the first Jewish sheriff of the City of London (1855)
and the first Jewish Lord Mayor of London (1855-56),
was elected as a Liberal Member of Parliament for
Greenwich in 1851, but was ejected from the House as
he refused to take the Christian Oath.
The law was eventually changed in 1858
(Lionel de Rothschild becoming the first Jewish MP to legally take his seat, having been elected in 1857).
Salomons was re-elected to the Greenwich constituency in the 1859
General Election, serving as its MP until his death in 1873.
