Mompesson was one of the survivors at Eyam and went from there to become Rector of Bilsthorpe (on which village's parish council yours truly is proud to serve) and Eakring. He achieved even greater notoriety (within his lifetime, anyway) at the later living than he achieved at Eyam - by becoming the focus of a long-running ecclesiatical court that sat in judgment on some affair he got embroiled in.

Just outside Eakring (which, incidentally was at the centre of Britain's only onshore oil wells for 30 years from WW2 onwards) there is a stone cross marking a spot once known as Pulpit Ash. It was from this vantage point that Mompesson had to deliver his sermons to the parishioners of Eakring. They would not let him into the village because of the plague connection. Bilsthorpe and Eakring are worth an hour or two if you're anywhere near (between Mansfield, Newark and Ollerton) - which case PM me when you're on your way, and the beer's on me. (In the Stanton Arms if you're NUM, or the miners' welfare if you're a UDM scab. There's no half-way house!)
