The morris world seems to be very active over in the USA & Canada – both in research, and in dancing. As I write I know that Morris Offspring are heading over the water and joining forces with Maple Morris for a series of performances. -

Lyle Tompsen, Student Number 28001102, Masters Dissertation The Mari Lwyd and the Horse Queen: Palimpsests of Ancient ideas A dissertation submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Celtic Studies 2012 Lyle Tompsen 1 Lyle Tompsen, Student Number 28001102, Masters Dissertation Abstract The idea of a horse as a deity of the land, sovereignty and fertility can be seen in many cultures with Indo-European roots. The earliest and most complete reference to this deity can be seen in Vedic texts from 1500 BCE. Documentary evidence in rock art, and sixth century BCE Tartessian inscriptions demonstrate that the ancient Celtic world saw this deity of the land as a Horse Queen that ruled the land and granted fertility. Evidence suggests that she could grant sovereignty rights to humans by uniting with them (literally or symbolically), through ingestion, or intercourse. The Horse Queen is represented, or alluded to in such divergent areas as Bronze Age English hill figures, Celtic coinage, Roman horse deities, mediaeval and modern Celtic masked traditions. Even modern Welsh traditions, such as the Mari Lwyd, infer her existence and confirm the value of her symbolism in the modern world. 2 Lyle Tompsen, Student Number 28001102, Masters Dissertation Table of Contents List of definitions: ............................................................................................................ 8 Introduction .................................................................................................................. -

Business from the previous meeting CCTV - Glen recapped the situation, noting that the school was going The Pub - it was noted that it had recently been boarded up, and with a notice put on the front about personal belonging. Giles confirmed that he would get in touch with the agents about the defibrillator. Land next to the pub - it was noted that it appeared as though planning applications had gone in for three sites around the district, but nothing had been heard from Selby about the proposed development on the land adjacent to the pub. Playpark - new nets had been ordered, the mole man had been asked to visit, and it was agreed that some equipment would be replaced and a general tidy-up would happen at a date to be determined in the spring. Water - Glen reported that a water test had revealed high iron levels (not problematic). There were on-going issues over the pumping station in the middle of the village which we were continuing to keep pressure on in order to get a permanent resolution, rather than the temporary daily pump-out that is currently being done. -

We are a strong Branch with over 500 members, if one of those members is you, please come along to our Annual General Meeting to be held on Saturday 19th January 2019 at The Bradstow Mill, 11.45 for a 12:00 prompt start. This is your opportunity to becoming involved in your Branch, to help us move forward, to celebrate and enjoy the excellent Re- al Ale and Real Cider that some of our local amazing establishments. Aside from the Branch Committee, we are also specifically looking for someone who could put together the Beer Festival Programme, including seeking advertisers and arranging the printing – could this be you? One the difficult tasks I have had this year is working with the Beer Festival Committee to ensure that we have a Festival in 2019. We had been in a really lucky position that for a considerable time we have had a very, very good rate when we hired the Winter Gardens, and due to the situa- tion, they are in, they had to review our hire, and after much number crunching and negotiation we have managed to secure the venue. -

Old English Customs THE FAVERSHAM MOOT HORN. This horn served for the calling of local assemblies at Faversham, Kent, circa 1300. Old Snglish Customs Sxtant at the Present Time An Account of Local Observances^ Festival Customs^ and (Ancient Ceremonies yet Surviving in Great Britain By T. H. T)itchfield, 3U.A., F.S.A. London cK 1896 \v PREFACE I HE object of this work is to describe all the old customs which still linger on in the obscure nooks and corners of our native land, or which have survived the march of progress in our busy city's life. There are many books which treat of ancient customs, and repeat again the stories told by Brand, Hone, and other historians and as far antiquaries ; but, as we are aware, there is no book describing the actual folk-customs yet extant, which may be witnessed to-day by the folk-lorist and lover of rural manners. We have endeavoured to supply this want, and to record only those customs which time has spared. Undoubtedly the decay has been rapid. Many customs have vanished, quietly dying out without giving a sign. The present generation has witnessed the extinc- tion of many observances which our fathers practised and revered, and doubtless the v 286064 Preface progress of decay will continue. We have entered upon a diminished inheritance. Still it is surprising to find how much has been left how the race ; tenaciously English clings to that which habit and usage have estab- lished how ancient customs hold in ; sway the palace, the parliament, the army, the law courts, amongst educated people as well as unlearned rustics cluster ; how they around our social institutions, are enshrined in reli- and are law gious ceremonial, preserved by ; how carefully they have been guarded through the many ages of their existence, and how deeply rooted they are in the affections of the English people. -
