hearsay |
A Need Fire was lit here in November 1840, perhaps the last
lit in Westmorland, perhaps the last in England. This was a
magical cure for the cattle sickness in the area prevalent
for over a year. The fire had to be lit by friction, and had
to be of wood that had never been inside a house. When going
it was covered with damp grass or straw to make a heavy
smoke through which the cattle were driven again and again.
At the last the best runner took a burning brand to the next
farm to light a need fire there, and so through the whole of
Westmorland.
The Patriot newspaper, 25 July 1834 described a cattle disease:- A sort of murrain, or pestilential fever, which is at present prevalent in the county of Westmorland, the popular remedy for which is fumigation of the infected animals with the smoke of needfire, accompanied by certain mystic signs. | |
