The Great Plague of London Was More Terrifying Than You’ve Heard

Beyond red crosses and beaked masks is a city running on habit and paperwork: doors painted shut, watchmen on stools, searchers feeding the Bills of Mortality, orders cried at corners while markets limp on vinegar-dipped coins. From watermen and pesthouses to printers and parish alms, this is how London kept moving—counting its dead, helping its living, and turning fear into routine. What you’ll learn *How shut-up houses, watchmen, and red crosses actually worked *How searchers and clerks built the Bills of Mortality each week *What the Lord Mayor’s plague orders changed in daily life *Markets, apothecaries, and the line between remedy and quack cure *Pesthouses, carts, trenches, and the quiet mechanics of burial #history #medieval #plague
