About Perfect Petals Gallery/Art Studio

 

Pictures of glass by S Myatt at Perfect Petals Gallery EyamPerfect Petals Art Gallery/studio is set in a traditional stone building in the Craft Centre among the grounds of Eyam Hall, the historic Derbyshire home of the Wright family. The house is a remarkably unspoilt example of a Jacobean manor house and the delightful gardens which retains its 17th Century layout.

It's hard to imagine that the quiet village of Eyam, off the A623 in Derbyshire, could have such a fascinating, yet tragic story to tell.

But at the end of August 1665 bubonic plague arrived in the village. Eyam is best known for being the village that chose to isolate itself when the plague was found, rather than let the infection spread

There are many fine old houses in Eyam and parts of the village have been kept as they looked several centuries ago. There are many attractions in the village to inform and educate visitors including a museum, of course a Church, as well as the 'Plague Cottages'. An audio guided tour of the village is also available.
