Eyam Parish Church (St Lawrence's Church)

Attractive historic church dating largely from the 14th century, with a 17th century tower. The churchyard contains a Celtic cross dating back to the 8th century, in an unusually good state of preservation. The church is an important part of the story of the Eyam plague which devastated the village, and to commemorate the 200th year after the plague in 1866, it received significant alterations and upgrades. The churchyard is well maintained and is the final resting place of a number of plague victims. Inside, the church features unusually well preserved wall paintings, Saxon and Norman fonts and displays covering the history of the village and the impact of the plague. A particularly thought provoking church, and one that's well worth a visit while in the area.

A lovely church, connected closely to the history of the village and the outbreak of the plague in the 1660s. There are examples of wall paintings, which were quite common centuries ago but have often been painted over. There is an illuminated copy of the death registers for the plague and some nice windows. Outside there is a good example of an 8th century cross and a nice sundial. The graveyard is worth a wander around if that is your 'thing'.

An historic village with an incredible story. Well worth a visit, but beware the museum is shut on Mondays

Lovely peaceful church with so many reminders of a tragic period in its history. The list of the villagers who died during the plague brings home the scale of the suffering.

Very interesting historical church. The area is known for how it keeped the plague from spreading. The village is so beautiful.

Great local church dated back 13 century. Well maintained and fabulous stained glass. Some really old wall painting and original features. It’s well worth it a visit if you are in Eyam. Parking on street free during the week and car park near the entrance of the village. Free to take photos and donation are welcome. We had a nice visit here.

Beautiful church and inside detailing how the plague came to the village from London in some cloth for the village tailor and how the village then self isolated to prevent the spread with Mompresson's wife buried here. Lovely stain glass windows one dedicated to the villages sacrifices during the plague.

Lovely place with a lot of interesting information and items from when the plague hit Eyam, inside the church. Very intriguing and the people here were lovely!
