Our Plague Year By Artist and Illustrator Nick Burton

About

Subscribe now to be the first to receive a new, weekly comic strip distributed for free exclusively by HOME... Let us take you back to 1665. A plague creeps ever towards Eyam, a rural English village, Derbyshire. An isolated village in lockdown brings out the worst and the best in its people (mostly the worst). Wise woman Granny Dankworth, speaks a muddled truth but holds no authority within the village hierarchy. Village gossip, George Gribble, blames the fairies for all misfortune, while young Godfrey Berrycloth, confined to a wheelchair, could be best positioned to ride out the inconvenience – his rich interior world within a moment's reach… In which characters will you recognise yourself? What similarities exist between their world and ours? Our Plague Year is an alternative retelling of the Eyam Plague of 1665-66. Conceived and created by artist Nick Burton in response to a provocation by curator Bren O'Callaghan.
