"Ancient customs are very well in their way, and so long as they
are harmless in themselves and yet afford some little amusement and
pleasure of associations, let them survive; but some are indeed more
honoured in the breach than in the observance. During the last few
days a troop of morris-dancers or plough-jacks, or both combined,
have made Barton their headquarters whence to radiate into the
neighbouring villages, and a great "racket" they have made. In the
evening especially the noise and uproar they made was a source of
great annoyance, but they appear to have now brought the season to
a close."
