I’ve only just come across this wonderful piece of film having discovered Spitalfields Life only recently. Doc has some fantastic footage and other records of these and other customs but his archive is always short of cash – inevitably these days, such a precious resource gets no puiblic funding. If you can spare a few bob, details of how you can help and about Doc and his collection can be found here ~ http://www.docrowe.org.uk/.

Through a labyrinthine journey on the internet, I discovered your entry of November 24 about the British Museum of Folk Art. Meantime, I have been a subscriber, but seem to have missed this entry. My folk art interest centers around two locations – the southern United States, and Prince Edward Island, Canada. Each offers delightful exploration. Wish I could fly to London to see every one of the Museum’s forthcoming exhibitions. All good luck!

Absolutely stunning lead photograph, and the post, great – we have so, so much eccentricity and tradition to be proud about in the UK.

I’ve seen Morris Dancers and helped weave ribbons around a maypole, but I’d dearly love to witness some of these other traditions. Living near Pasadena, California where we have flower -covered floats in the Rose Parade every year, I especially enjoyed the flower arrangement on horseback at Castleton Garland Day.
