"Memories of Newark" [Plough Monday at Caunton]
Nottinghamshire Local History Council Collection,
Com. 28th Apr.1963, Ref.DD121/3/13
One of 16 essays entered for a competition. It is a historical description of
bygone Newark, but not really from personal memory. It includes the following
passage;
"I do remember Plough Boys calling at my home to 'act their little piece' as
they put it. I saved the Plough Monday Play at Caunton and gave it to Mr.
Maurice Barley MA, of Nottingham University."
[A manuscript text of a Caunton play dated 1954 is in the M.W.Barley Collection.
There was clearly an intermediate collector, who is not identified.]
[Nottinghamshire Archives' online catalogue gives Ref.DD/121/7 for "Miss" Crowden's essay.]
