The second festival of the ecclesiastical year namely St Stephens day has many and peculiar customs in this locality.
Among these many and peculiar customs is the ancient one of "hunting the Wren". This custom is that a number of boys or girls masguerade as travelling musicians or in some other disguise and to solicit money for the expressed purpose of burying the "Wren". The following piece of poetry is recited while the "Wren Boys" go from door to door.
The wren, the wren, the king of all birds.
St Stephen's day he was caught in the furze
Although he is little his family is great
Cheer up old landlady and give us a treat
We followed our wren through frost and snow
We followed him three miles or more
To vist you here and to vist you there
A happy Christmas and a merry new year
So up with the kettle and down with the pan
A shilling or two to bury the wren
And if you treat us of the best
I hope in heaven your soul may rest
But if you treat us of the small
That wont agree with the wren boys at all.
