Rose Ash Revel - Press Cuttings
Some press cuttings about the Rose Ash Revel from times gone by
Many thanks to Gemma Hackman for finding these.
A revel is still held on St. James's Day. Formerly a sheep was let loose for men and boys to chase, its tail being greased to make it difficult to hold. If the man who succeeded in catching it could retain it until the others arrived, he became its possessor.
