- On chalk Sunday all unmarried people are marked with chalk. It is the custom to have cocks for dinner on St Martins day.
On St Stephens day a crowd of boys mask themselves and go from house to house gathering money and they say the following

the king of all birds
On St Stephens day he was caught in the furzes.
