Keywords: 'This Black Plague that devastated the village killed 70 villagers between April and September in 1645. The dead were placed in a pit "at the end of the Church path" and this was marked and a stone placed there in 2003. The Plague was no respecter of persons, and it is thought that Archdeacon Helyar [of Coker Court] and the Vicar probably both died of the contagious disease.' <a href="http://www.eastcokerchurch.org.uk/history.html" rel="nofollow">www.eastcokerchurch.org.uk/history.html</a> |
