Tradition

chillit, what on earth are you going on about? Monks? A Monestary? A new religion? I have to be honest you've lost me a little. Is it a building, a place, is it still there today? Do they do anything that fits with your definition of tradition at a particular time of the year? I'm confused.

I just thought it would be fun to post a few old traditions, which is what I thought this thread was about. Maybe I'm mistaken, I am new here.

How about telling us 1 single part of the mop that goes back to the last King never mind Edward III. Tell us what a hiring fair would consist of in the 1300s, and then tell us what part of that you are continuing. And then, SHOW ME THE CHARTER!!!!

I really am confused even more now?

I saw this post, I'd seen in the paper the mop dated back to the time of Edward III and thought it would be fun to find out if there were any older traditions in the town? I'm not disputing anything, just have a genuine interest so why are you having a go at me?

I'm not 'continuing' anything and I don't know about hiring fairs in the 1300's, I'm just curious about Warwick history as we did local history at school and thought this might be a friendly place to find out more. Guess I was wrong.

In that case I apologise, this is a Friendly place, but a person with some involvement with the mop has been slightly less than honest with us using the unregistered header. If you register, so we know who we are talking to, maybe even introduce yourself, you will find us all quite friendly
