Beating the Bounds or Perambulation replaced the old Rogation Ceremonies, (Gospel Oak) which were of 8th century origin, but contained elements of paganism and were banned following the Reformation. Beating the Bounds is still practiced in some places, although as a custom rather than a necessity.
Beating the Bounds takes place on the fifth Sunday after Easter, Rogation Sunday. Until the second half of the 19th century the Vestry Committee were charged with the responsibility for investigating the boundaries of their Parish to ensure no new, (un-rated) buildings had been erected without their knowledge. The “Perambulation” included Officers of the Vestry with village Notables and children armed with “wands of office” which were usually willow rods and used to “Beat the Bound” On occasions, boys were also beaten or bumped on the ground so that they would “ well remember the bounds of the Parish in which they do dwell. “ In the old Rogation Ceremonies it was thought that their cries of protestations would drive evil spirits into the neighbouring Parish. At traditional stopping places the priest would read from the Scriptures, the stops being marked by an oak tree or other familiar feature. Place names such as “Gospel Oak” “Gospel Thorn” and “Amen Corner” are relics of this ancient festival.
Perambulators were offered Ganging Beer and Ramification Biscuits by way of refreshments, but the recipes for these have disappeared just as the tradition of mistreating the children. We can however, offer teas or soft drinks and a biscuit at the Football Club on the way round.
So come along and enjoy a healthy walk in good company and we promise not to duck anyone in the Gipping, and the beating or bumping of children is strictly forbidden. The walk takes about 2 hours, and there is a refreshment stop after about an hour.
