 Eyam |
|
|
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.
