quotation of W.Irving's (1835) description of Plough Monday at Newstead Abbey,
Notts. This mentions the recitation of the old ballad St. George and the
Dragon, and a set of Morris-dancers, which included the characters; Robin Hood,
Marian, Beelzebub and Bessy. The trailing of the "Fool Plough" is also
mentioned in general terms.
