This talk traces the many diseases and epidemics that have affected Hertfordshire since the 1300s.  We'll be exploring original records to find out how local people were affected by the 'swetyng sycknesse', smallpox, cholera and sadly, many others. We'll also be looking at the steps that were taken to contain and prevent disease.
