The Black Death and Tissington - might 1348 be too early for it to strike Derbyshire?
[edit]The well dressing as a thanksgiving for Tissington surviving the Black Death arguably could not have happened in 1348; the plague was only recorded to have arrived in England at Weymouth in the summer of 1348 and the plaque did not cover England until the middle of 1349. (See also article on well dressing, where I see there is a citation need against the alleged first record of well-dressing in Tissington.)Cloptonson (talk) 07:00, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
