Nazeing
Nazeing is a parish with a population of approx 4,000 in Essex, England. As the village is five miles long, it is divided into Upper Nazeing, Middle and Lower Nazeing.〔http://www.visitoruk.com/Harlow/nazeing-C592-V10767.html〕 The Prime Meridian passes to the west of Lower Nazeing.
==Location and topography==
The Village is approximately four miles north of Waltham Abbey and one mile south west of Harlow in Essex, England and bounded on the west by the River Lea. Most of it is still rural, but during the past 40 years there has been a considerable development of market gardening, light industry, holiday fishing, and boating. The older village of Nazeing is separated by open farmland from the larger Lower Nazeing 〔http://www.oneeppingforest.org.uk/documents/LowerNazeing.pdf〕 to the west.
The affix 'bury' to Nazeingbury, applied to the communal graves dug to contain the bodies of plague victims, brought down by river barges from London. This area seems to be the extent of the funeral journeys, as graves were also dug at Broxbournebury and Wormleybury, within the district.
The land gradually rises from the river to a small hill and bowl-shaped plateau, about 270 ft. above sea level, in the east. Apart from the alluvium by the river, and a strip of gravel a little to the east of it, the soil is London Clay. Nazeingwood Common 〔http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2552347〕 now known as Nazeing Common covers much of the eastern plateau and was originally part of Waltham Forest, but in the 13th century was disforested for pasture. It was also ploughed up during the Second World War. From the common a small brook runs west through the middle of the parish.
