The Domesday Book records Eyam (locally pronounced ‘eem’) as Aiune. That’s a bit bizarre as the word means ‘an island’, perhaps a spooky premonition of what was to come six centuries later. No church is mentioned, however, it is likely that the Saxons had a church. The present Parish Church of St. Lawrence was built originally in 1150. The complete and unbroken eighth-century Saxon cross which stands close by the tomb of Katherine Mompesson in the churchyard is regarded as the finest example of its kind in the
county.
The local Vicar, Rev Mompesson, organized the quarantine of the entire village of Eyam in 1665. Unfortunately, the bubonic plague was thought to have been carried from London to Derbyshire by infected fleas in bales of cloth. The bales were delivered to a merchant in Eyam. When he died of the plague a few days later, loads of the locals fled the village. Some stayed. Katherine Mompesson refused to leave when her husband organized the quarantine. Sadly, she died a month or so before the end of the grisly affair.
