A collection of essays by antiquaries on the odd byways of English parish life: games and festivities once held inside churches, holy-day customs, when and why bells were rung, bell inscriptions and belfry rules, ringers’ jugs, and the superstitions that gathered around baptism. J. Charles Cox opens the volume.
An 1895 miscellany for anyone who enjoys the folklore and quirks of old English churches. Download the free EPUB.
