Hay on Church Floor.

A curious custom was observed at
Old Neston church on Sunday. The
church is dedicated to st. Swithin,
and on festival day the church is
strewn with hay. Many years ago
some donor left field to provide
money for bread which is distributed
four times a year. The tenant of the
field has to supply the hay to strew
the church. The custom is supposed
to have originated from the fact that
on festival Sunday the parishioners
wear new boots. and the idea OF the
donor was to have the hay laid down
to stop the squeaking incidental to new
footwear. On Sunday the hay was
duly laid down In the church.-Londop
