*Nottinghamshire Guardian,
26th Jan.1929
Source states: "Although the custom of 'plough bullocks' going
round with a plough is generally referred to 'as an old English
custom' it may be of interest to note that Sir John Markham of Notts.,
in the reign of Henry VII, was one of 'his Majesty's visitors to the
clergy and laity of the deanery of Rochester' who prohibited the
observances of 'Plough Monday' and other practices (?)"
