About Great Plague
Bubonic plague terrorised Europe for centuries. In 1665 a devastating epidemic struck this country killing thousands of people. Officially the 'Great Plague' killed 68,595 people in London that year. The true figure is probably nearer 100,000 or one-fifth of the city's population.
