Visit to Eyam- The village affected by Plague

It was a quick decision to visit Eyam- one of the village in Chester field affected by Plaque in 1666.

   Visited the burial tomb of a family of 6 children left out by their survivor mum Elizabeth Hanock.

They all perished in the space of just 8 days. This reminded of so many disheartening stories of covid happeningcaround. Lord have mercy on all people.

                    The place is so beautiful surrounded by a village, valleys , cows, horses and sheep are grazing in the landscape.  Beautiful thick rocks around look as if carved or chiselled out for some purpose. Children and adults enjoyed climbing and swings in the place, went with other home educating family 

.

    Lot of historic value to this place. We made a walk through the path and circled back to the place where we started journey. There was a little sink when people were quarantined with plaque and outsiders brought things and left out. Coins are left in the vinegar to exchange in order to prevent the spread to others.
