Hendred Mummers!
Boxing Day – 26th December, 12:15pm
Join us as the steady beat of the drum announces the start
of the traditional Mummers’ play outside the Eyston Arms
this Boxing Day at 12.15.
This play was traditionally performed by the labourers and
artisans in the village but sadly came to an end and the words
forgotten until James Madison Carpenter, an American folklore
collector’s work became available online, and the words of the
Hendred Mummers could be revived. James came to this
country in 1933 to tour around looking for remnants of the old
Mummers’ plays and spent some time with Rose Kimber in
East Hendred and noted the characters and words she had
learned at her father’s knee. The play was first revived in
East Hendred in 2019 to rapturous applause and has gone
from strength to strength under the guidance of Robin Hine
and his team of enthusiasts.
