Mompesson's Well near Eyam
The earliest picture of this historic site in the annals of Geograph was taken in September 1987 by Tom Courtney - submitted in August 2005. See Link The well is named after The Reverend William Mompesson (1639–1709) who convinced the parishioners of Eyam to put the village into quarantine when plague struck the village in 1665.

When I visited the site on December 30th 2019, I was surprised to see a peacock butterfly sunning itself on the stone wall but it flew away before I could get my camera ready to snap it.
