Norsey Wood Local Nature Reserve (Billericay)
Norsey Wood Local Nature Reserve is a heavily wooded area on the outskirts of Billericay in Essex.
The entrance is in Outwood Common Road.
It consists of traditionally coppiced ancient woodland, and is a remnant of the great forest which once covered the whole of Essex.
The wood is a site of Special Scientific Interest and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
It was in Norsey Wood that the surviving members of the Peasants` Revolt were finally crushed and massacred in 1381.
