St. Giles Churchyard

There is an Essex Wildlife Trust sign calling this a Nature Reserve. When I tried to find out more about this from them, they had no information about it. They put me in contact with a former volunteer that used to look after it and he gave me a little information. It appears that it was a Church and Graveyard for St. Giles home for Lepers which was further along Moor Hall Lane. I found a website that mentions this, but I'm not sure it is the same location. http://www.leprosyhistory.org/cgi-bin/showdetails.pl?ID=439&type=lepann If you have any information, please add it and let me know
