| hearsay:- |
This is thought to have once been an inn, The Holly Bush. Its innsign was used to
make an oval table by new owners, the Prestons, in the 19th century. A young lad from
Bowston, H Clarke, said he once looked under the table and saw the holly bush painted
below. This table was taken off to Orton by the Prestons when they moved. |
|
| H Clarke remembers being at jollyboyings here at Easter. When the fool entered he began with:- |
||
| "Stir up the fire and strike a light, And see this noble act tonight." |
