Dr Sam Riches is to give the St George in Festival public lecture at London South Bank University this month. With the traditional St George’s Day date falling at Easter the festivities in Southwark were more muted than usual. However, for the annual St George in Southwark Festival promoting St George as a multicultural saint, Dr Riches is calling her talk ‘There is no Spring Without St George: England’s patron saint in the folk traditions of Europe and beyond’. The first part of the title is taken from a Russian proverb. Samantha Riches, of Lancaster University, is author of St George: Hero, Martyr and Myth published by The History Press (£12.99). Her lecture is on Thursday 12 May at 6pm at the LSBU Events Theatre in Keyworth Street. Admission is free; places should be reserved on [email protected] or 020 7193 1845. Doors open at 5.30pm with refreshments available after the lecture.

The talk also marked the launch of this local history pamphlet which has everything you need to know about May Day from very early pre-Christian times. Despite the title, the fifty page paperback gives a good general background to this much misunderstood ancient English festival and presents evidence of many traditions in SE1. In 1492 Henry VII paid ten shillings to Lambeth maidens for May Day flower garlands. There was a maypole in the Potters Fields area until 1617 when the vicar of St Mary Magdelen in Bermondsey Street had it pulled down. But the one at the Elephant & Castle still appears on a map of 1681. The Jack in the Green, usually seen in Borough Market and Bankside on May Day, is a tradition recorded in Borough in 1894. This was the time when the ‘May Day Festival’ was organised by Bermondsey Guild of Play at ‘Bermondsey Village Hall’. There is also a look at how the day became associated with trade unions and was not always a happy occasion. On May Day 1949 600 people from a rally at St George’s Circus moved without permission up Waterloo Road and met police in the ‘battle of Waterloo’. The development of the day into also being the feast day of St Joseph the Worker is included along with London’s main May Day Mass involving many communities now being held in Southwark’s St George’s Cathedral. This also involves an outdoor public procession. Meanwhile SE1’s modern Maypole is in Red Cross Garden. londonse1 News you may community website have missed Church Commissioners urged Compass SE1 ‘free school’ for to repent for homes sell-off years 7-11 could open in 2012 Clergy from Waterloo and Walworth have The Compass Schools Trust has announced held a service of repentance outside the its intention to apply to open and run a ‘free offices of the Church Commissioners in the school’ in SE1 for pupils in years 7 to 11. light of the sale of hundreds of homes in … more at www.London-SE1.co.uk/n5228 Wharf on Bankside: Grace Golden – © The Estate of Grace Golden Southwark, Lambeth and beyond. … more at www.London-SE1.co.uk/n5248 New St Hugh’s Church as development is approved Six rarely seen pen and wash pictures in a new art What should be in Bermondsey A new St Hugh’s Church is to be built on the neighbourhood plan?
