Thanks so much for visiting us in the UK! You're so respectful of our stories, people, places and history and I for one appreciate this so much❤
We have a lot of English in our development here in the States. Let's face it, we are pretty much all that each other truly have in the world.
I wish more people were like Jessica and Michael, so respectful and truly interested in the history. Thank you both for taking us on your journeys. Greetings from Canada
For someone on the vacation of a life time, the grimms sure are releasing alot of videos on their trip. Thank-you so much for taking us along on these amazing trips. Happy Halloween 🎃
Sooo good init? As a brit I just love seeing their take on everything but also looking forward to Germany which i think maybe next?... 🇩🇪
they are working,the more vids they put out the more CASH THEY MAKE FROM THE TUBE.thats the way this works,also the more SUBSCRIBERS THE MORE MONEY IN THERE POCKETS.
@@elgato894. Good for them!
I love your videos, thank you so much for all of your work 😊✌🏻
@elgato894 Have a beer dude it's really not worth freaking out over, so what if they are filming and posting videos, it is what is allowing them to make these great videos.
This is why this is my favourite channel on TH-cam. These people's stories are being told because of two people passionate about spreading history. Thank you guys.
Thank you for your respect and care. I am from England and I remember visiting Eyam when I was about 12. I am now 51! I remember these places and the names on the plaques. I was deeply affected by this place as a child and my family and I still talk about this. I am proud to be English when I see in our history how we did hold a lot of compassion for others, like here, quarantining themselves knowing they could run and maybe get free of it, but choosing to stay for the good of the surroundings townspeople. When she hugged the rock, I cried. Please hug her from me and tell her thank you for her love. I hope you both love the uk ❤
How utterly selfless of the villagers to self-quarantine to prevent the spread of the plague. Hero's, every one.
Totally agree❤
Absolutely amazing. God bless them.
I am not sure people would do that today....
I’m a long time follower of your channel and I’m a person with a disability that makes traveling very difficult. I love all your content it makes my day just to be able to follow you on your beautiful spooky adventures. Thank you for sharing your amazing lives with people like me who are confined to a little corner of the world.
You two are taking me to places I could only dream of going! Thank you again for sharing such amazing adventures with the rest of us! Safe travels!
I live in Eyam it’s a nice place I guess, really quiet
Same here! Michael & Jessica never disappoint.
It's interesting to think that during that awful period no one knew for certain how the plague was transmitted. The Eyam villagers had the sense to realise the disease was passing from one person to another and isolated themselves from other villagers and journeymen so as not to pass it on or to become re infected when it stabilized,
They were obviously very well organised and with great foresight.
Was through Fleas from a package from London
I swear they make cemeteries look more and more historic and beautiful! They can still feel eerie but have a certain beauty about them! The very same with this one! The age of the stones there, these people truly have such beautiful final resting places. Just the overall beauty of this video and every video you guys do, and to take time to show us around on your explorations! Thank you so so much for another beautiful video besties! Safe travels as always 👻🎃🦇💚🥰
It's Michael's enthusiasm. It comes across so genuine and you don't see that much in these days of meh.
@@ElCineHefe Michael and baby ghoul are the best story and history tellers. Their voices are soothing and peaceful. That’s what makes their videos and their channel truly the best ! I get so excited when they post a new video !
Loving your UK videos (from a Brit). Look up Pluckley Village in Kent. Supposed to be the UK's most haunted village. You may enjoy it. Keep up the fantastic content. My hubs and me love it. Happy Halloween 🦇
🌿 The aromatic herb garden featured is of great historical significance.
Those particular herb species were stuffed into the “beak” of the creepy-looking “bird man” masks worn by physicians during the plague times.
The aroma of the herbs masked the stench emitted by the plague buboes (boils), and were thought to act as a rudimentary respiratory disease filter.
Happy Halloween 👻! Loving these videos! Knew the next few months were going to be FANGTASTIC! Safe travels. Stay Spooky 🎃
Thank you Michael and Jessica you really humanized the plague for me. Up to now it was just a part of history but now I know names, ages, and cannot imagine the sorrow these survivors went through watching their loved ones fade away one by one. Quarantine off the town and still getting supplies. These poor people and that woman who had to bury her entire family herself how tragic!
Just a beautiful tribute to this little village with a sad history. I've seen other videos on this but none of them moved me as much as yours did. You really bring the history and the tragedy to light. I'm so glad you are filming your UK visit. Hope Jessica is feeling okay, you guys do a lot of travelling, it can be exhausting! Take care and look forward to more adventures.
The people of that village chose to stay and not spread the plague. They were heroes.
Great to see visitors to the UK actually making it out of London
This puts much into perspective. In 1709, three brothers from Switzerland left because of religious persecution (Mennonites). One of those three was my ancestor. The generations just prior to them had lived through the plague. My son is the 10th generation in the USA.
Visited Eyam today. It was raining but we had a wonderful visit. Very atmospheric and very interesting. Grim and Jessica covered it perfectly and I kept saying “oh Grim and Jessica stood here!” Thank you for visiting Eyam and telling its sad and thought provoking story xx
Thank you for visiting Eyam. We were taught this at school at a young age. Living in Derbyshire, it was especially tragic. We were taken to Eyam on a school trip at 8 years old. You treated their story with equal reverence and respect. Thank you.
Guys your literally in my back yard I’d have loved to bump into you … your U.K. content so far has been fantastic a real mix all fabulous .. love you guys ! Happy Halloween 🎃
And in learning about this historic village! There will always be events and things left out of the history books and that’s what I truly love. I am a major history buff, so historical sites, getting to physically be there of where things happened, can’t even imagine! I’m so glad you guys got to go there and experience this, and be our history teachers again! ❤
2:52 the aromatic and curative herbs were an important part of the plague era. What many people may not know, the Simon & Garfunkel famous song "Scarborough Fair" refers to a plague victim not be able to see his love. You can hear the some of the herbs mentioned in the song: "Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" . The song was inspired by an old plague era poem.
Thank you for this added bit of history :)
I didn't know that. Thank you for sharing that bit of information ❤
the tune's been around for centuries with various lyrics but the only problem with the plague reference claim is that the version using the lyrics "par. sage, rose. and thyme" and referencing "Scarborough Fair" has only been around since the 19th century.
Slight correction. Actually, the song is a more modern take on a middle ages Scottish ballad called "The Elfin Knight" which is about a young maiden who gets basically kidnapped by a supernatural knight who she has feelings for. He agrees to marry her if she can complete a list of impossible tasks for him and in return she counters with a list of equally impossible tasks for him thus effectively avoiding rape and they ultimately both win out and become a married couple and as an added bonus they start living on a plot of land that was left to the young maiden by her father. The Simon and Garfunkel version from the 1960s is a mix of the old Scottish /English melody and some of it's lyrics mixed with an anti war message of the time. I don't know where you got that information but it has never had anything to do with the plague.
@@ghostchaser1631 It is a ballad about the Yorkshire town of Scarborough, which was infected by plague, ofcourse it is natural that it has varieties but this particular instance is requesting tasks to the listener because the person cannot meet their beloved. This version is traced back to 1670 . As the song spread, it was adapted, modified, and rewritten to the point that dozens of versions existed by the end of the 18th century. Yes it has to do with plague.
You're near my neck of the Woods! I hope you enjoyed the historic beauty of Eyam ❤
Imagine if they had not agreed to a quarantine? So many more lives would have been lost. What a selfless and conscientious act of these villagers
You are both so respectful. So informative. Excellent presenters. A village I'm hoping to visit in '24. When Jessica dropped the 2p coin into the well, that brought tears. So sad but how selfless were the villagers that perished to contain the disease. Knowing their fate. RIP each & every one of them. 🙏
Another beautiful episode. My ancestors are from Eyam, they survived the plague. I still live nearby. I wonder, did you visit any other sites in the Peak District? There are some fantastic spots around there, from prehistoric stone circles to castles, and the landscapes are gorgeous. Haddon Hall is a must see for 'The Princess Bride' fans.
I live in England and never heard this story. Thanks for sharing. We all learn something new every day.
It took a yank to provide the best documentary on Eyam, far better than the BBC ones. Really interesting, thankyou
Wow…thank you. Much respect.
Thanks for doing these awesome UK videos guys. I am crossing my fingers that some day the Grims do a video on Boleskine House on Loch Ness. It's the place where Aleister Crowley performed the Abramelin ritual and evoked angels and demons. Happy Halloween!
Wow! This one's going in my top 5 favorite episodes! I really appreciate how you bring the history forward, no matter where you visit. Unfortunately my health won't let me visit the places I feel drawn to. Eyam is one of those places. Thank you both!💜🎃🤘
This was so wonderfully done!
Bizarrely, I’d never heard of this place but just checked and am only 40 miles away!
The respectful manner in which you treated our history was lovely to see. More respectful that most native Brits it seems.
Good luck to you both.
I love this place.. feels like home to me & my mum… we found out years after visiting this place after a feeling of belonging there that we had ancestors from the village of Eyam, thank you so much Rick & Jess for covering this beautiful historic village that I call home ❤
It's really incredible how plagues come about and end, and even more interesting, how soon most forget about them... I like to believe that we all learn something from these harsh moments in time... LOVE that you GriMMs are having a great time during your time in the UK.... Another great episode... Happy Halloween :^)"""""""""
What a wonderful Video. It touched my heart. I am glad there is a place that remembers, these souls. that was taken from an awful disease. RIP.
Never grim when the grimms are about happy halloween 🎃 guys
Love you both so much. Thankyou for showing so much respect for English heritage. You are such a respectful couple regardless where you are.❤
I very much enjoy European history! It's almost too much to wrap my head around the fact of how old Europe is compared to the United States. We are just a "baby" country in comparison! I so appreciate that you both are taking us on your adventures in England. Well done! And maybe some day you will visit Ireland??? 😉
Love your videos so much🥰I get to travel through you guys🥰Thank you🥰
Brilliant! So glad and surprised you went to Eyam. It's not far from me so we went as kids a few times and the story has haunted us ever since. Just the mention of the name Eyam and Monpesson still give me the shivers.
Yours adventures across is fullest of knowledge. Thank you for sharing such amazing places. It's amazing listen to you explain all so well, i can feel the passion on your voice. I loved everything inside that church also!
Fantastic upload, beautiful village with a lot of history. All these places you're visiting and they're all on my doorstep. I have to go, only an hour away from where I live too. Glad you guys are loving England.
I've watched so MANY travellers on journeys and adventures.. as tourists or walking back home. But Ive never come across any couple or person who's visited sites that I would go to. Each and every one. Amazing. It's like a personal tour and I couldn't ask for more. I will never set foot there, on that land, but if I ever did.. those are the places I would visit.
Guys, you've got yourselves a new subscriber. I had tears in my eyes watching this. So moving. I've now watched all your videos from England. I think you have a real affinity for all those old world sites, so different to what we find in the US. Magical
A tragic story beautifully and respectfully told, thank you guys, Happy Halloween to you both 🧛♀🧛♂🙏♥
Just a few miles from my hometown! If you're ever in the area again, let me know. You were also just a few miles from the filming locations of The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue, the exterior of Talbot Hall (actually Chatsworth House) from the 2010 version of The Wolfman, and Chesterfield with it's crooked spire, which has many legends about the twist. My favourite is that at a wedding once, the bride was a virgin, and the spire was so surprised that it turned to look :)
Wow you made it to Eyam! Its a beautiful village with such a sad history, hope you enjoy our stunning Peak District!
Well I’ve watched your videos for a few years now, an then this video is about 20 minutes from my house… brilliant
A plague village I never heard of??! The hellll? Cannot wait for this….you guys are the best!! ❤💀
I'm so glad you got the pronunciation of the village correct, for a place with such a grim[m] history (pun intended) it really is one of Derbyshire's most lovely places. 👍
Excellent show. I have heard the story of this village before but never covered as well as this. This show does not get the credit it deserves. It is very educational as a travel loge and in regard to the history.
A village who sacrificed so much
I visited here a few years ago
In my village we have plague stones still embedded in walls where you would put your money in vinegar before you bought food & ale
Incidentally I live just 6 miles from Lancaster,home of the Pendle Witch Trials of 1612
I appreciate the sensitivity and respect with which you related the history of Eyam during the plague. Such a tragic story. It's hard to imagine the loneliness of the few who were left to mourn many family members and friends. This one brought a tear to my eye.
Its amazing the history of this story is so well documented and preserved. I envy you for being able to visit these places but im thankful that you are sharing with us.
You had me captivated telling the tragic stories of the villagers , thanks for your respect to our history and the places you visit . 😊
I'm from a really historical area here in the East Coast of the U.S. A lot of Early American and English history here
Nice to see you 2 visiting my country. Many beautiful locations here such as this one. Hope you guys have a good time while you're here
Good job reporting and explaining a very sad time in their history.
Really intresting to hear about this village. And it's tragic so many lost their lifes in the plague.
Thanks Jessica and Michael.
Happy Halloween
This was a really well done video, putting everything together in a timeline fashion and getting to see the physical locations and building and graves. Its so upsetting to see 1 person survive and the rest of the family taken. I cant imagine what went through their mind feeling completely alone in a world that took everything away from them. In the middle of nowhere , no one to talk to, burying ur loved ones urself. Its just heartbreaking.
What a lovely tribute video to the victims (and in my book, heroes) of Eyam. They selflessly saved countless of others from contracting the plague. The plaques are a sad reminder of their sacrifices. They will never be forgotten.
On a lighter note, I'm glad the UK weather was kind to you both 😊
When you get your house your sign on the house should say Welcome to the Grimm Estate. Enter if you dare. Have one of those pictures that the eyes follow you the whole time. lol
3 things I love about this time of year the weather halloween and Grimmlife adventures. Nothing says Halloween more than Grimmlife! ❤️ you two!!!
I've lived in the UK all of my life and didn't know any of this. Thank you for teaching me some things today. I also love how respectful you guys are too.
I hope Jessica feels ok. What a big UK trip you have provided for us hangers-on!
It is really beautiful that you both have in your own way remembered the people who died all them year's ago and I living in England didn't even know about.
Never seen this village but I have a mate who lives close to there. I’m so impressed how you’ve gone off the beaten track here and taught us some new history! 😊
I remember going to the video shop in the late 70s for the first time..Me my older sister and an older girl from next door was looking after us..We picked City of the Living Dead and we were so scared we had to turn it off and sat there frightened for the rest of the night..I was around 8 and far to young for that film as it’s pretty heavy..That’s what I love about horror in general.., Your scared Shitless but you can’t help been drawn in for another look..Another gem of a video about are hideous Foe Black Death 💀 💚…Love to you all 🖤
Being from the UK and studied history of the black plague I enjoyed the way you told the story i also feel you have a unique way of story telling keep up the great videos 👍🏴
Thank you for touring this historic village and sharing your trip with us. It is very informative and beautiful in the village of Eyam. And yet very heart breaking to learn about the plague and what happened to the villagers in such a short time period. With that said, please be safe in your travels and happy Halloween!!!👻👻👻☠️☠️☠️
Wow that's a old cemetary. I thought the plague boundary stone was super cool also. What a beautiful place
I love England- my experience was if you asked how to get somewhere people would say "10 minute walk " or "5 minutes that way". I loved the shops too- a butcher, bakery, etc. Daily shopping! It reminded me of my town when I was a kid. Never had to leave, good food & supplies all within walking distance - wonderful time. Cool trip you are on! Thx for taking us!!
Thank you for another intriguing video! Thanks for sharing as always.
Live in Derbyshire and popped up here last autumn, lovely place. Nice little pizza and burger joint around the corner aswel for anyone that sees this, enjoy.
Ring a ring of Roses a pocket full of posies attisho attisho we all fall down. Love the video.
This was as good as any British History TV show. 👏🏻
What a wonderful, touching, respectful vid, yet again! As someone in the UK, I find your deep feelings towards such history really endearing and empathetic. It obviously means a lot to you to visit living history like this and appreciate it so much, which I find so heart warming. So interesting that so many wives/Mothers survived, you would think they'd be primary care givers for the family, especially all the children infected and died. Kinda makes you wonder why and how. Bless them all though. What a wonderful little village, so picturesque. I'm just left with the thoughts of that lone little 3 year old Joseph Siddall surviving boy though, I wonder what ever happened to him!*! ❤
This village is BEAUTIFUL. Crazy to think of the tragic things that happened here. I hope all of those souls are resting peacefully. Thank you so much for sharing you guys 🩶
I first heard of Eyam at the beginning of the Covid lockdown. In the face of what was happening in 2020 & how some people were behaving, the irony of a village in 1665 that chose to quarantine itself rather than run the risk of infecting neighboring villages was not lost on me. I love that the village has become a living memorial & history center so that their sacrifice was not forgotten. It's interesting that the villagers would leave money at the boundary stone in exchange for the food that folks from neighboring villages left for them - almost like a sort of 17th century version of Door Dash. Thank you for sharing with us.
The astonishing fact that structures 360+ years remain intact and apparently in use to this day is a remarkable achievement.
Hope you enjoyed your visit to the UK. I'm in my 50's now,we would go on camping holidays as a family when I was young. Even now I'm so in awe of the beautiful countryside.
I was thinking you should have dropped some american coins to signify the distance you traveled to pay homage to the village and its cherished dead. Another wonderful video. 😊😊
I have visiting the UK on my bucket list, my Nana and great Nana were from Ipswich, I've always felt a pull to visit the beautiful UK and see it's historic sites, thank you for these awesome videos.
Thanks so much for this! I lived in the UK for 2.5 years, 17 years ago. I did the regular tourist trap stuff and I went back to College and studied Art History. I have a new appreciation for historical places and I had never heard of this place. Fabulous job!!
Wow wow wow…. You guys never ever disappoint! I would have ever known of this village or this small bit of history! This place is so incredible! Thank you so much.
Wow I commented one hour later than you posted…. I feel like I am at a rock concert of the best of the best… I feel honored!
Your in a beautiful part of the UK right in the peak District,lots of historical places to visit,there is Matlock Bath Sundays are best to visit,blue John caverns, Castleford,lots of beautiful places for you . Enjoy 😍 love you guys happy Halloween 👻🎃
Seeing how happy all this history makes the Grimms makes me appreciate growing up in the UK. My childhood play area was a Neolithic barrow that dates back to at least 2400-1500 BCE. It was later reused by the Romans and the Saxons, and then by my friends, and it was just normal to us.
a great video, the way youre so respectful and informative isnt incredibly common on the historical side of youtube which is a shame. people seem to forget that even though this wasnt recent, they were real people and its such a heartbreaking (yet weirdly bittersweet) story. i also love what was said at 14:14
Great and interesting video! I love America but it is a shame that we no longer preserve our history as they do in Europe! History should be honored, for whatever it is, not erased or rewritten! Thank you Michael and Jessica! Can't wait to see all your other videos! Thank you for taking us with you! ❤
This is the best vlog you've done. Just so amazing and to see the cornerstones, the village, the cemetery and then the graves of the villagers who died 1665-66. Much appreciated. Beautiful countryside and walking between properties and the horses in pasture.
Love your history videos of our great country mate.
✝the town isnt erased the residence lives on and we learn from its history 🙏✝love Europe for that! i literally cannot imagine having to travel all the way to the boundary stone for food RIP🙏🙏 makes me humble for sure
The shot with the hot air balloon in the sky and the old buildings and old headstones is amazing! Love it!
Hi Michael and Jessica :) I swear you two could make visiting a garbage can sound interesting . Again I was completely immersed in your narrative and enjoyed evey minute of this video. Thank you so much and ,of course, Happy Halloween to you two as well :)
Hey Michael, I'm not surprised Jessica didnt go with you to the Riley Graves - we did the exact same walk (and a video) covering this story earlier this year, and its surprising just how far away the historical sites are when you consider how small the village is! Walking does take a fair bit out of your feet at Eyam. Great video as always.
Great and informative information on this. My wife and I really enjoy your videos, especially the history ones. You guys present history especially well.
My very first pro acting gig was in a play based in Eyam. I remember being told how to pronounce “Eyam” correctly, I wrote it in the back of my script phonetically - “Eyam = Eeeem”. Thanks for this, as I’ve actually never been there.
the way you tell stories are so heart felt. i love your channel so much.
This was so cool to visit that little village!! Looks the same as it did hundreds of years ago!! RIP to the plague victims🌹
Love it guys… 🤙🏻 but I’m surprised… surprised you missed the opportunity when Jessica was with the sheep not to drop in the line “there coming to get you Baaaaaa’rbra…” 🐑🤣🤙🏻 again though as a Brit I’m loving how well you are making our history and landmarks for our American and international community showing we are not just rain and tea and crumpets like so many seem to think 🤣🫶🏻. Keep it up as I know you will 🫶🏻
@grimlifecolective 🤔
This village gives me a Sleepy Hollow vibe. I love it. So sad what happened there though.
I did a lot of research on the Plague creepy but interesting
