William Mompesson, the Rector at that time, supported by Thomas Stanley, the former incumbent, organized a strict quarantine (a cordon sanitaire) to prevent the spread of the disease beyond the village boundary. Services were held in the open air. The churchyard was closed to burials from July 1666 and families were asked to bury their dead in their own gardens in unconsecrated ground.
