Entry to an essay competition on old village life at Bingham, Notts. It
includes the following on page 3, which probably relates to about the years
1881-1882;
"On Plough Monday an old labourer, Brown by name, was invited to school so that
we could see him in his fancy paper trimmed suit, which was all very
amusing. In the evening, boys would go round asking for gifts in money or in
kind and youths and men would go the round of the public houses giving the
Mummers Monologue."
