What is recorded here

Eyam Stocks are a set of 17th-century stone stocks located in the village of Eyam in Derbyshire, traditionally used for public punishment of minor offences. They are historically significant as they are associated with the village's response to the Great Plague of 1665–1666, when the community famously quarantined itself to prevent the spread of the disease.
