The Owd Oss Mummers: PLOUGH MONDAY
The Bramley,
Apr.1981, No.68, p.6e-f
Follow up letter regarding an appeal for information on Plough Monday in the
Jan.1981 issue (I.T.Jones, 1981a). Mr. Steemson provided words of a play
performed in Oxton until the 1890s. Mr. Ralph Brooke had the scrap book
compiled by Miss L.F.Milner containing the play performed in Kirklington up to
the First War. Mrs. Olifent and Mr. Robinson provided the play performed
between the wars in Farnsfield, and recently revived at annual Plough Monday
suppers. Mr. Jack Smith (via his daughter Mrs. Marshall) gave details of the
Plough Bullocking play that he and others had revived in 1980 in
Blidworth. This had been performed right up to the Second World War. Mr.
Ernest Parkin remembered his father's Plough Bullocking in Edingley about
1891. Further locations mentioned where Plough Monday had been celebrated,
but for not detailed information was available were Averham, Kneesall, Norwell
and Southwell. The author had also obtained a copy of a Caunton text performed
until about 1945.
