The famous outbreak of Bubonic Plague in 1665/6 in Eyam is vividly portrayed. The villagers imposed a voluntary quarantine, and over a third of the population died. We present a wealth of historical information about the plague, both locally and worldwide. The tragic stories of individual families are told. The subsequent growth of local industries is described, together with local geology.
