Sunday 19 July BBC One – The Rev. Kate Bottley is in Derbyshire to hear the story of Eyam, a village where 355 years ago two vicars began a lockdown that led to a third of parishioners dying, but which saved the north of England from the spread of the bubonic plague. Sean Fletcher sees how a Christian charity is helping homeless people in Derby, and a furniture restorer describes his transformation from addiction to faith in God. With hymns from across the UK, recorded before lockdown. We’re on

Brisk walks and sweet treats – the perfect Eyam combo! After a refreshing morning exploring Eyam’s charming streets, we stopped at the Village Green Cafe for coffee and cake. A perfect little pause to relax, watch the village come alive, and enjoy a taste of local life. Walking through Eyam, with its incredible history and breathtaking scenery, makes every sip and bite feel extra special. 🍰 📸 Share your favourite village cafe experiences below – I’d love some recommendations for my next visit!
