Excellent and informative film - but just one criticism; I had to keep 'pausing' the video because the messages were not there long enough to read, and so the overall effect is lost somewhat...
Thanks for the feedback. I did extend the text pages but did not want to have them on too long to bore people too much - a bit of a juggling task and I may have underestimated how long it takes to read things. Will take your comments on board if I do another one.
Hi - and no problem. I hope I didn’t sound over- critical - didn’t mean to. :-) I’ve just watched it again without stopping to read all through, and it's still a wonderful film! I’ve always been interested in this historical event - and I believe Rev. Mompesson to have been a truly WONDERFUL man! I would love to see the Play again that was televised back in 1973 - but I can’t find a copy anywhere.... Thanks again.
nintendy Not at all - always welcome suggestions - may see if I can update it but keep this one here as well. Not sure if you have seen the blog I put together of links and info - eyamplague.blogspot.co.uk/
Well there is a BRADSHAW HALL but the ones who died and the house they lived in seems to have been BAGSHAW. What literature do you get your info from? I shall make enquiries of those who live in Eyam.
Captain_PlaysMC Have had this info back from Eyam page on Facebook - 'The Bradshaws fled Eyam and left Bradshaw Hall partially built, Bagshaw House is now the name of the building in which the Siddall family lived'. They also said that if you are 'studying Don Taylor's stage play The Roses of Eyam the only Bradshaws mentioned or portrayed in that play are Squire Bradshaw and his wife'. Hope that helps to sort out the confusion.
Engaging film, and wonderfully moving music of Mahler as a backdrop. Thank you for sharing. Cheers

For those interested there is a Facebook group - 'Eyam The Plague Village'
Sorry but its Bradshaw not bagshaw....right?
Well all the references I have seen and the plaques in the village state BAGSHAW - unless someone knows different.
neonpuss1 Oh ok but in my Literature class it is *Bradshaw*
