THE PLOUGH PLAY IN TRADITION IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE
Hidden History,
1991, Vol.3, No.2&3, pp.44-51
This is rambling mystical description of Plough Monday plays and customs,
in Nottinghamshire, interpreting them as relics of some pagan fertility ritual.
No sources are cited, but the information given appears to come from secondary
or tertiary sources, apart from:
p.51 "In January 1942 the Cropwell Bishop plough play was
briefly revived by a group of schoolchildren to raise
money for the Aid to Russia Fund."
