Riley Graves
Possibly the most poignant memorial to the plague that ravaged Eyam in 1665/6. In the space of a week in August 1666, Elizabeth Hancock lost her husband and six children to the plague, and had to bury them herself. The site is now in the care of the National Trust.
Riley's Field, to the east of Eyam, Derbyshire.
