The Village of Riley Graves in Derbyshire
The village of Riley, Derbyshire was devastated by the plague in 16 66. The water trough filled with vinegar is no longer sitting on the village perimeter. But it's been replaced with a large rock known as the boundary stone. There are still buildings there that pre date the plague including george vicker's house. And every year people gather outside for a church service in the open air. They call it plague sunday, and it's held in memory of those outdoor gatherings back in the summer of 16 66.
