Eyam additional text pages
The main aim of the map company
has been the production of the map itself. However in the
preparation of the map it was necessary to edit a lot of the
information collected from people in the village. If you have not already obtained
a copy of the map, then we urge you to consider it, we simply
cannot show you how good it is here!
If you
already have a copy of the map, then you will find some
duplication, and there are a few contradictions where slightly
different stories have found their way in! The origin of the name
"Eyam" itself is one such case. We hope you will find
many things to interest you in these pages.
At the end of each page is a
link back to the top, the home page, and this site map.

area is fascinating. Plus
the map editor is a caver - so lots of
contributions for this topic!
