An exploration of the traditional culture of Sussex through its
folklore, seasonal customs, folksongs and legends and traditional
occupations such as shepherding and inshore fishing and those
outside the law, such as smugglers, highwaymen and poachers. From
saints to smugglers, from may garlands to mummers, from wife-sales
to witchcraft and legends in the landscape-this book gives an
insight into the traditional culture, beliefs and practices of
rural Sussex in the context of landscape, antiquities, settlement
patterns, belief practices and economics. The Book contains much
original research and an examination of primary sources. Topics
include: 'Legends in the Landscape'; 'Spring & Summer Customs';
'Religion and Folklore-Saints, Witches and Guy Fawkes Night'; 'The
Winter Solstice and Celebration of Christmas; 'The Law of the
Forest and Poaching'; 'Folk Drama'; 'Songs of the People'; 'The
Shepherds of the Downs' and 'The Cinque Ports & Smuggling'.
