Synopsis "Plague Houses and Pandemics"
1665 to 2020 ... A fascinating journey through the centuries, comparing the beliefs and management of pandemics. The story of the plague or pest houses, which fulfilled such a vital role from the fourteenth century. What was so significant about the situation in 1665? This book is the first in-depth account of the role of the little known plague house. The chapters describe changes brought about through the ages, as more understanding about pandemics and health protection has been gained. The reader is challenged to consider what lessons we can learn from the past, in order that we do not make the same mistakes again. Alison Wall is a retired nurse, midwife and Health Visitor. After gaining an MSc in public health in 2008 she became fascinated with the history of public health. She has spent many years researching the old plague/pest houses, with very little written about them in historical texts. Alison enjoys guiding at a local medieval manor, an English Heritage Grade 1 listed Mansion and most recently guiding at Kensington Palace, Historic Royal Palaces. She also gives talks to groups about a number of topics, including the plague cottages. To find out more, visit: www.speakernet.co.uk
