Local Notes and Queries : Plough Monday Trouble At Muskham
Nottinghamshire Guardian,
3rd Jan.1942, No.5042, pp.3 c-d
Notes the recent revival of Plough Monday customs in Notts., but without
the malicious ploughing aspects of the former "fool plough" mummers. It
then describes an incident at North Muskham, Notts., in 1597 when the
church yard was ploughed up, and the plough trailers were arraigned in
court.
