Visit to Mr Parkin, The Willows, Edingley on 28th January 1981. He remembered
his father, a farmhand at Edingley Manor, telling him about Plough Bullocking
night in Edingley. He thought it would be about 90 years ago. All the
boys living in at the farms would go round 'plough bullocking' but he
gave no further information. Mr Parkin is now 76. He remembers seeing
mummers when he was young at Stoney Hufton and Hualt Hucknall on the Hardwick
Estate in Derbyshire. About 8 people went round with a lantern. There
was a doctor in it and he thought it was religious. He thought Nebuchadnezzar
was in it. In 1915 when he was 10, Mr Parkin's family returned to Edingley.
He cannot remember having seen anything happen in the village on Plough
Monday.
