The famous Derbyshire village where the locals imposed a voluntary quarantine and prepared to die is a picturesque and awe inspiring place. To actually see where the plague started and the scenes of so many tragedies can only make you wonder just what type of people these men, women and children were. George Viccars was the first to die and the house in which he suffered his torment is still there – as are many of the original houses and locations where so many prayed for salvation and died.
