Inspired by the Plough Sunday plough blessing at Newark
Parish Church, this article describes Plough Monday customs and
beliefs from unnamed published sources. They include plough trailing,
the Tollerton Plough Monday mummers' play, claiming a "Cockerel in
the pot" for Shrove-tide, plough lights, and Goose-Dancing house
visiting in the Scilley Islands [sic].
