Gives quotations from Dr.J.C.Cox (1913) about Plough Monday, and mentioning plough
trailing, Plough or Labourers' Lights, Plough Ales, malicious ploughing and the
sword-dance. He also talks of a play having been performed at Wiverton Hall,
Notts., in 1893, and of the text of the play recently revived at Tollerton,
closely following that in Chaworth-Musters (1890).
Mentions that a plough was blessed in Chichester Cathedral that year, and that
there was an annual ceremony of blessing the crops at Gringley, Notts.
