St. Stephen's Day:- On this day parties of little boys wearing face-masks go from house to house collecting money for the "wren". One boy in each party takes a dead wren about, on a holly branch. On entering a house he says:- "Something for the wren, the wren, the king of all birds, on St. Stephen's Day he was caught in the furze". As a rule each householder gives him two or three pence. The members of each party divide the money collected between them.
