In memory of the Derbyshire village that once self-isolated to save others. During the bubonic plague outbreak of 1665-6, the inhabitants of Eyam quarantined themselves, in a famous act of self-sacrifice, to prevent the spread of the plague. Villagers would come to place money in six holes drilled into the top of the boundary stone to pay for food and medicine left by their anxious neighbours. By the end of the outbreak, more than a quarter of the village’s population of almost 1,000 were dead. The plague, however, was contained.

For residents of Eyam today, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which has already touched a nearby village, the lessons of that self-imposed isolation have powerful echoes.

Peel Croft, former home of Burton Rugby Club, before moving to a new stadium in nearby Tatenhill. Peel Croft to be demolished and replaced with a retail park.

It was bought by Burton Swifts football club in 1890 and officially opened as a football stadium on 2 September 1891 with a friendly match against Derby County. Swifts became members of the Football League in 1892, and the crowd of 5,500 who attended an FA Cup match between Swifts and local rivals Burton Wanderers on 10 December that year was probably the ground's record attendance. In 1901 Swifts and Wanderers merged to form Burton United, with the new club using Peel Croft as its home ground, before being voted out of the Football League. They eventually folded in 1910, after which the ground was taken over again by Burton RFC.
