    Another game at Hallowe’en is to tie an apple to the roof and let it swing and try to get a bite out of it without touching it.
    Another one is to put a tub of water on the floor with an apple in it and throw something in it. If the thing they throw sticks in an apple the person gets the apple.

    Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, is usually known as Cock Tuesday in this district. If two people are getting married and do not before then they are supposed to let the cock crow on them. It is the last day for getting married before Lent.
    It is also known as pancake night and pancakes are made then.
