In England today we enjoy a rich diversity of folk traditions, many of which can trace their beginnings back hundreds of years.
They stem from every phase of our antiquity and embody all the peoples who have traditionally enriched our culture.
In this book we visit some of the best known examples, including mumming, cheese rolling, tree dressing, rushbearing, beating the bounds, flitch trials and Wassailing, among many other customs, festivals and traditions.
