Christmas in Devon – a talk by Dr Todd Gray

Collecting the ashen faggot.
From Illustrated London News, 1854.

To be held by Zoom video conferencing.

Some aspects of the Christmas holiday were particularly Devonian – mummers, a gooding and the ashen faggot, while others, like Stir Up Sunday were much like other parts of England.

This history will be explored along with other introductions over the last 400 years.
