When plague struck the village of Eyam in 1665, the villagers
made the extraordinary sacrifice of isolating themselves in
order to prevent the spread of this terrible disease. The harrowing
story is the central theme of Eyam Museum, which also tells
the story of the village from prehistory to the present.
