Just an FYI, at various times, Jews have not been allowed in England:

Hi Reg,
Irish migrants to South Wales were not generally recorded or listed. They
were at that time travelling from one part of the UK to another. Anyway, it
seems there were no immigration formalities even for foreigners until the
early 20th century. See:
http://www.movinghere.org.uk/galleries/roots/intro/migration/migration.htm
"During the 19th century Britain prided itself on the liberal attitude it
had towards immigrants. In fact, restrictions were only introduced during
the first decade of the 20th century to try to control Jewish migration from
Russia and Poland."
Best wishes,
Seán
