More from this place
In 1665 the Plague was raging in London. A taylor from Eyam ordered some cloth from the capital and it arrived damp. This released the plague carrying fleas and within days, Viccars fell ill and died. Families began to panic and fled the area. It was feared that this would spread the disease and villagers were asked to quarantine themselves. The Plague ended in October 1666 and had claimed 260 lives in an 18 month period. An authentic history of those fearful months is told in Eyam Museum.
