Eyam plague -the story
Loading...
Uploaded by 10leggo on Nov 1, 2007
When the plague hit the village of Eyam,a public meeting was held at which it was pointed out that if everyone fled the village to save themselves then the plague would spread to the surrounding area and possibly to the entire country. Although no fence kept them in the people regarded it as there Christian duty not to leave, so they stayed, and hundreds of them died

@10leggo There's doubt that it was a flee bite that go Vickers, it's more likely he came in contact with an infected individual, this had an obvious 3 week infection period hence it was able to spread so much faster than plague should be able too

Has anyone read "A Year Of Wonders"? It's amazing, a small novel of the Plague in Eyam... Besides some names being different, it is still very well detailed.

@LoveIsCruel15 You may well be right, the jury is still out on what this plague actually was, The medical side of this I have to leave to another, but whatever it was the story of “Eyam” remains the same.

Edward cooper was a lead miner who plays no part in the story of the Eyam plague, other than when he died his widow married the taylor that brought the infected cloth into the village. PS (it does say)
