Our first history walks of 2025 will be in the historic village of Eakring. The village is famous for its links to Rev Mompesson, the ‘plague parson’ of Eyam. See where he preached, outside of the village, and the myths surrounding the ‘pulpit ash’. Discover the mysterious ‘Eakring Flash’ and dip down into a dumble or two….Don’t know what a dumble is? Come and find out. We will also explore the historic church.
