September 1665 CE
The outbreak, though concentrated in London, affects other areas of the country.
Perhaps the most famous example is the village of Eyam in Derbyshire.
The plague had allegedly arrived with a merchant carrying a parcel of cloth sent from London, although this is a disputed fact.
The villagers impose a quarantine on themselves to stop the further spread of the disease.
Spread of the plague is slowed in surrounding areas, but the cost to the village is the death of around seventy-five percent of its inhabitants.
