I think this is something to do with the plague, and a village. I've read the story and I can't remember the chaps name or the village, other that to say the village is not in Yorkshire, and it's in one of my history books - I have hundreds so I'd better start looking Smile

I'm almost certain he, whoever he is, cut the village off from the rest of the country and everyone died, but I might be on the wrong track Undecided

Did the plague only get as far north as Eyam Derbyshire

Seem to remember being told as a kid it was something to do with a roll of cloth

That's the village Andy, and it was fleas in the cloth. I'm sure the chap was called William ?
