Rush-Bearing Week
This week has been Rush-bearing Week - otherwise the Lymm Wakes Week.
Nowadays, however, it is only kept up in name. Talking yesterday to an
old resident,,, ...at one time visitors used to flock from
all parts to a big fair which extended from the Spread Eagle to Lymm
Bridge - right through the village - and from the Cross to Church Green.
Lymm Morris Dancers
In those times Morris dances always played a prominent part in the
festivities which lasted throughout the week; and these dances, if
nothing else, have always been kept up until this year, having now been
abandoned owing to the war (as all the dancers are at the Front,
even "the old 'woman' with the spoon and bell"!) |
