Do we know of any of the burial places of Rishonim around France and England? I know Rabbi Yisrael Meir Gabbai has found some but are there any tools to source ancient Jewish cemeteries e.g. a map?

Is this on-topic? – DonielF Jul 22 '19 at 19:47
It is unlikely that there are any Rishonim buried in England, if there is there are not many. Many Rishonim are buried in France though. - Rashi - Rabbeinu Tam - Rashbam - Ri - The Radak many others.

3The Ri meorleans was murdered in London, so likely buried in a graveyard in the UK. Unfortunately unknown. R'yom tov mi joingy was murdered in York; although we do know where the York cemetery is it apparently the victims of that massacre were not buried there – user15253 Jul 22 '19 at 18:47

Not the Ri meorleans, I am talking about Ri HaZaken, Rashi's son. – AvrohomKanievsky Jul 22 '19 at 19:03
