Talk:Jews' Court, Lincoln

Page title

If Jew's Court is wrong and Jews' Court is right, then why don't we move it? Is it controversial or anything?? The LJC page seems clear. I was tempted just to move it, but wondered if more research is needed. Thanks DBaK (talk) 00:24, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Any more comments on this? :) DBaK (talk) 23:59, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

I notice that some sources cop out of placing the apostrophe by omitting it: Jews Court. Correct/clever/defensible usage, or just fence-sitting? :) DBaK (talk) 10:04, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Helloooooooooooooo? (echo: oo-oo-oo-oo-oo) Anyone there?? :) (cue tumbleweed) DBaK (talk) 20:40, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

I don't think anyone has an opinion on this. If you feel further research is needed, then you'll have to do it yourself. Warofdreams talk 01:13, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Well indeed, it would seem not - but someone set it up as Jew's Court and others have edited it in the text as Jews' Court and it is not unreasonable to hope that one or both of those people, or more, might know more about this than me. (They could hardly know less. <g>) However, as you so astutely perceive it seems that there isn't that much urgent interest in this burning issue so in the absence of commentary from others I may well do something, or something else, or nothing, and see if it leads to a major edit war. Or not. :) Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 07:34, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

I only have one book at home that references Jew's Court (and Jew's House) and that lists them as I have written them here. The book is the Shell Guide To Lincolnshire by Henry Thorold and Jack Yates, published by Faber & Faber, London in 1965. Not much help I know, but I thought Id add it in for you.

Just had a look at the references in Pastscape for both pages, and Jew's House comes up as just that if you click on more info & sources. Whether or not Jew's Court was for or owned by one Jew or the Jewish community, I wouldnt like to say, and it seems neither does Pastscape, as they list it only as being reputedly a synagogue.

The Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology has its headquarters there. The Society's website describes it as Jews' Court.[1] I'll change the page name. Headhitter (talk) 19:06, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
