Plague Cottage, Eyam

This is where George Viccars lived. He was the tailor's assistant and the first person to die on 7th September 1665 of the plague. The plague arrived in a box of cloth from London containing plague fleas. The village is known for the bravery of its inhabitants, because instead of fleeing they isolated themselves and stopped the plague spreading. 260 people died in the village.
A beautiful cottage
