For someone on the vacation of a life time, the grimms sure are releasing alot of videos on their trip. Thank-you so much for taking us along on these amazing trips. Happy Halloween 🎃
-
How utterly selfless of the villagers to self-quarantine to prevent the spread of the plague. Hero's, every one.
-
Thanks so much for visiting us in the UK! You're so respectful of our stories, people, places and history and I for one appreciate this so much❤
-
I wish more people were like Jessica and Michael, so respectful and truly interested in the history. Thank you both for taking us on your journeys. Greetings from Canada
-
This is why this is my favourite channel on YouTube. These people's stories are being told because of two people passionate about spreading history. Thank you guys.

It's interesting to think that during that awful period no one knew for certain how the plague was transmitted. The Eyam villagers had the sense to realise the disease was passing from one person to another and isolated themselves from other villagers and journeymen so as not to pass it on or to become re infected when it stabilized, They were obviously very well organised and with great foresight.

2:52 the aromatic and curative herbs were an important part of the plague era. What many people may not know, the Simon & Garfunkel famous song "Scarborough Fair" refers to a plague victim not be able to see his love. You can hear the some of the herbs mentioned in the song: "Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" . The song was inspired by an old plague era poem.

I’m a long time follower of your channel and I’m a person with a disability that makes traveling very difficult. I love all your content it makes my day just to be able to follow you on your beautiful spooky adventures. Thank you for sharing your amazing lives with people like me who are confined to a little corner of the world.

When you get your house your sign on the house should say Welcome to the Grimm Estate. Enter if you dare. Have one of those pictures that the eyes follow you the whole time. lol

Visited Eyam today. It was raining but we had a wonderful visit. Very atmospheric and very interesting. Grim and Jessica covered it perfectly and I kept saying “oh Grim and Jessica stood here!” Thank you for visiting Eyam and telling its sad and thought provoking story xx
-
Thank you for visiting Eyam. We were taught this at school at a young age. Living in Derbyshire, it was especially tragic. We were taken to Eyam on a school trip at 8 years old. You treated their story with equal reverence and respect. Thank you.
-
Thank you Michael and Jessica you really humanized the plague for me. Up to now it was just a part of history but now I know names, ages, and cannot imagine the sorrow these survivors went through watching their loved ones fade away one by one. Quarantine off the town and still getting supplies. These poor people and that woman who had to bury her entire family herself how tragic!
-
You two are taking me to places I could only dream of going! Thank you again for sharing such amazing adventures with the rest of us! Safe travels!
-
Great to see visitors to the UK actually making it out of London
-
This puts much into perspective. In 1709, three brothers from Switzerland left because of religious persecution (Mennonites). One of those three was my ancestor. The generations just prior to them had lived through the plague. My son is the 10th generation in the USA.

I swear they make cemeteries look more and more historic and beautiful! They can still feel eerie but have a certain beauty about them! The very same with this one! The age of the stones there, these people truly have such beautiful final resting places. Just the overall beauty of this video and every video you guys do, and to take time to show us around on your explorations! Thank you so so much for another beautiful video besties! Safe travels as always 👻🎃🦇💚🥰

You're near my neck of the Woods! I hope you enjoyed the historic beauty of Eyam ❤
-
I live in England and never heard this story. Thanks for sharing. We all learn something new every day.
-
Imagine if they had not agreed to a quarantine? So many more lives would have been lost. What a selfless and conscientious act of these villagers

I grew up not far from Eyam, we even had school trips there back in the late 70s, and we would go camping not far from there every year. I know the history of eyam and the field at the end of the village is the location of the most of the burials and there are still a few marker stones there. Once the church was full some was buried in the back gardens but when they was full they went in the field. Still is a beautiful place to visit.
