  • Summary

  • It's our first episode! This time, we investigate the tragic impact of The Black Death on a small village in Derbyshire. As disease and and death descended upon Eyam, its inhabitants decided to do something incredibly brave to protect their neighbours. Join us as we explore what life must have been like in these dire times, and the parallels to our life today. We also decide that Stoke-on-Trent is the new capital of England, and solidify our status as old crones.
