Going through the parish registers of St Clements in Norwich I've frequently came across the term "Lazar" against people buried. Not having come across this term before I Googled it and it told me that Lazar was an antiquated term for Leper? Reading further I see that there were quite a few Lazar houses around the city. One such hospital became the Lazar House Library in the city, now a community building after cutbacks. I've also noted many burials of people being "from the gate", presumably because these were people either poor, diseased or not of the parish and therefore not permitted to enter? Any comments on this welcomed. They're an interesting record of life back then these registers.
