More about this scene
The twin-gabled cottages in the centre of this photograph are where the infamous plague first struck in 1665. The story of the heroic, self-imposed quarantine which the villagers imposed to stop the infection spreading is well known. We can see the tower of the parish church of St Lawrence, where the minister, William Mompesson, led the sacrifice, in the left background.
