maypole

In this May issue of The Antiquary, we begin by exploring the rich and often contested traditions of May Day in England. From hawthorn blossom and village maypoles, to milkmaids, chimney sweeps and the enduring spectacle of Padstow’s ‘Obby ‘Oss,’ we trace how communities have marked the coming of summer in English parishes. We then turn to look at the parish church of St Michael at Stoke Charity in Hampshire, where an unassuming exterior belies a remarkable interior: late Norman architecture, and an exceptional assemblage of medieval and Tudor monuments make for a very satisfying building through which the deep and layered history of this English parish is revealed.
