Mompesson's Wall

Mompesson's well was used along with the boundary stone for the villagers of Eyam to exchance money for food with other villages. The well was also used to show where the village boundaries where. Vinegar was used to disinfect the coins, which would be left by the villagers of Eyam in exchange for food and medicine.
