Why was the outbreak of plague in Eyam England so unique?

The outbreak of plague in Eyam, England, in 1665-1666 was unique due to the self-imposed quarantine enacted by the village's residents. When the plague arrived via infected cloth from London, rather than fleeing, the villagers chose to isolate themselves to prevent the disease from spreading to neighboring areas. This decision led to the death of a significant portion of the population but showcased their sense of community and responsibility. Eyam's sacrifice has since been remembered as a poignant example of civic duty in the face of a public health crisis.
