Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Every Easter Monday the small village of Hallaton in East Leicestershire is host to a strange rural custom – the ‘Hare Pie Scramble and Bottle Kicking’. This is a battle between Hallaton and the neighbouring village of Medbourne. The tradition is ancient, dating back to at least the seventeenth century. Recent research has revealed that Hare Pie Bank – the hill above the village on which the bottle kicking battle starts – has a much older history. Documentary research and excavations by the Hallaton Field Work Group have uncovered evidence that not only was the hilltop used by the Romans, but also a medieval chapel and burial ground, dedicated to St Morrell, once stood on the bank overlooking the village. | ||
