Eyam tourist information
Eyam, known as the Plague village. In 1665 to 1666, 280 people were killed by the plague, said to have been taken into the village by fleas in cloth from London. The village was quarantined and food left at the boundary.
Now it a peaceful village set up on the Peak District, much visited by tourists and walkers.
The church St Lawrence was extended in the 19th century, but the Plague register is still there today.
Interestingly it one of the first villages to have its own public water supply, as there are springs in the village.
