The Jewish population of England, which had been living in England at least from the time of the Norman Conquest and likely since Roman times, were expelled in 1290 by a decree of Edward I of England. Before that, many were killed in pogroms.
Jewish people were not allowed back into England until the mid 17th century.
No reason is recorded for the expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290 by Edward I. Answer 2 The Statute of Jewry in 1275 (see the page Edict of Expulsion on Wikipedia, it's extremely helpful) gave Jews 15 years to be farmers, an occupation formerly prohibited for Jews. In 1290, when the statute expired, Jews were expelled, supposed because they violated the statute.

Many Christians believe that the Jews must be "gathered together" before the Messiah comes.Answer:Christian anti-Semitism often caused Jews to move, as they sought safer places to live or were forcibly expelled from Christian countries such as Spain, Portugal, France and England.
In 1290 Edward I expelled all Jews from England, and they were not readmitted to the country till 1657 (except as members of the households of foreign diplomats). So, in the reign of Elizabeth I, there were practically no Jews in England. However, all the usual stereotypes were there.
Legally, none; Jews were expelled from the Kingdom in the 12th century and not officially readmitted until Cromwell's Republic, in the 1650s. There was a small number of Jews in London, however - who had to keep their religion quiet or pretend to be converts; Queen Elizabeth's physician Lopez (executed in 1594) was famously a Marrano (Portuguese) Jew. Because of the secrecy, we will never know exactly how many Jews were in Elizabethan England, but the number is certainly to be reckoned in the hundreds rather than thousands.
No. The Jews were expelled from England in 1290 and not readmitted till 1657. The mind boggles at the thought of a secret Jew in rural Norfolk in the reign of Elizabeth I.
