    1. Re: [SFHG] Plague
    2. It was Eyam. The Rector persuaded the villagers to stay there, after first sending his sons away. There is still a well there, where the people got their water to prevent contamination of the river, called The Plague Well I believe. The infection was taken there by a maid who was working in London, and she went home for a holiday. Its very sad to read all the inscriptions on the cottages. They were very brave people.
