Hi All, I'm trying to find out about a place called Lesbourne Lands in Reigate. It is listed on my GGGrandfather's birth certificate. He was one of twins - they were illigitamate. So far, I've come up with a map from 1837 that shows Lesbourne Lands surrounding St Mary Magdalanes Church. Could it have been a convent for unmarried mothers? Any Info would be greatly appriciated.
