EYAM and EYAM HALL, EYAM, NR BAKEWELL - www.eyamhall.com
Eyam is one of the best-preserved villages in the vicinity and is the famous 'plague village', which went into voluntary quarantine when the plague was imported from London in 1665. The church in the centre of the village has a small exhibition about the Plague. There are many beautiful old houses in Eyam and parts of the village have been kept as they looked several centuries ago, especially the area at Townend, around the Miner's Arms. Many of the buildings also have plaques giving details of their history and the part their inhabitants played in the Plague saga, it is worth having a wander around the village. Eyam has a number of tearooms and a well dressing and carnival in August. Eyam Hall has been in the Wright’s family for over 300 years. The house is a fine example of an unspoilt Jacobean mansion with delightful gardens, which have retained their layout since the 17th century. The farm buildings have been converted into a working craft centre with a shop and a licensed restaurant. It is open all year.
