Article about various Christmas customs. At one stage it quotes from
an article by Thomas Ratcliffe in Notes and
Queries of December 22nd 1906. That article refers to a time 50 years
previously when Morris Dances were performed, guisers acted "Th'Darby
Tup or Ram" and Mummers performed a play of St George for a couple of
weeks before and after Christmas.
The article also states "Of the Wiverton Plough-Monday play we have recently
written, and need only now refer to it in passing. That custom too, is
now enshrined among the memories of the past:"
