Yesterday's #wassailing... 😀 Led by the @eynshammorris.bsky.social, villagers processed through the orchard banging pots & pans to scare evil spirits & singing to wake the #appletrees to encourage a good harvest. Long may this old #folktradition continue!

I love church kneelers and always look for them when I go churchcrawling. I think they are such a wonderful piece of folk art. I was particularly happy to see this delightful trio of guinea pigs in Alberbury church. 💚
