Rushden Feast
|
|||
|
September 22nd 1916. From “Argus” Mr Smith comes forward with the remark that Rushden Feast is over. That’s a nice thing to happen and we not to notice it. Here is his letter: Dear Sir – When is Rushden Feast? Coles, in his History of Rushden says, “Rushden Feast is kept on the Sunday following September 8th”. The latter date being the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and as our Church is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, it seems to me that it ought to be held on the Sunday following the 8th and not after the 19th. When was the date altered? It may have been put back 9 or 10 days on account of harvest about 60 years ago. J. E. Smith. |
