355 years before COVID 19 took over the world, another pandemic swept through Britain. The Great Plague of 1665 killed 100,000 in London, 25% of the population, and a further 100,000 in the rest of the country. In the finale of this three part series, we learn about the village of Eyam in Derbyshire, revealing the heroic story of self-sacrifice that saw this village of 700 lock themselves in, to try and stop the disease spreading to surrounding towns. We also take a look at treating the plague and it's symptoms. While some methods for controlling the spread of the plague were actually successful, some methods of treatment for the plague probably caused more harm than good. Subscribe – http://goo.gl/wpc2Q1
