Summary

Pathe synopsis: A whole village is preparing a floral tribute in this Derbyshire village where, 300 years ago, a deadly plague killed five-sixths of the population. We see the petals being pressed into soft clay to form colourful tableaux then join Lord Hill of Luton in the procession to visit the decorated wells.
