*Nottinghamshire Weekly Express,
4th Jan.1907
A rambling description of Plough Monday customs, from throughout the country,
including Lincs., Yorks., Cambs., Derbys., and Great Gransden, Hunts. Mostly
taken from P.H.Ditchfield (1896) and E.K.Chambers (1903), but also includes an
anecdote relating to a village "not a hundred miles from Nottingham".
Chaworth-Musters (1890) Wyverton Hall, Notts., play is cited "...as given last
week". Her correspondence with T.F.Ordish, as reprinted by Dichfield, is
extensively quoted.
