For Some reason Essex Wildlife Trust http://www.essexwt.org.uk/ refer to St Giles Churchyard as Little Gibcracks in their reserve literature. The owners of the site have entrusted the management to the trust. The grass is cut once a year after the wild flowers have seeded. The Hay is taken away to keep the soil impoverished this encourages rare species such as. Orchids, Betony and adders tongue fern. However unless something is done about the oak seedlings springing up everywhere within ten years this last scrap of wild grassland will be secondary woodland.
