SUMMARY:Talk: Plague Houses and Pandemics
DESCRIPTION:£10 per person including glass of wine or soft drink \nWe’re delighted to welcome Alison Wall to give an illustrated talk about the history of the plague\, the Pest Houses and the evolution of medicine to the present day\, based on her recent book Plague Houses and Pandemics.”  Alison’s extensive research included material in the collection at Amersham Museum. \nAlison’s talk explores the little-known history of the pest house\, including local examples in Amersham\, Chalfont St’ Giles\, Great Missenden\, Croxley\, Watford and Chipperfield. Although mention is made of pest houses in historical sources\, it is often in an incidental fashion\, for example Samuel Pepys states “a mayde ran away and was taken back to the pest house by the pest coach.”(diary entry 1665) but he provides no detail of what the Pest House was like and who was accommodated there. \nAlison will discuss the history and beliefs of disease\, starting with Aristotle and Galen\, including the Great Plague of 1665\, alongside smallpox and other infections. The evolution from Pest Houses to isolation hospitals will be investigated\, as well as fever nurses\, specifically trained to deal with infections like diphtheria. Alison will also share where demolished and still standing pest houses are located. \nAlison will reflect on the similarities and differences between the Great Plague in 1665 and the Covid epidemic of 2020. She suggests \n“A key difference\, was the fact that in 1665 they knew not to house those infectious with the plague in the hospitals. They understood the risks of spread and recognised the importance of health protection.” \nAlison is a retired nurse\, midwife and Health Visitor. She retired in 2015 after working in Camden and Islington as a Public Health Strategist. \n  \nThe talk will be in the Museum’s Woodcock Room which on the first floor\, accessed by a platform lift. There is more information about accessibility here: Access Statement – Amersham Museum  Please get in touch with any queries about accessibility\, or any requirements that we might need to know about to make your visit as straightforward as possible.
