In 1948, shortly after settling with his family in the village of
Blaxhall, Suffolk, George Ewart Evans started recording the
conversations he had with neighbours, many of whom were born in the
nineteenth century and had worked on farms before the arrival of
mechanisation. He soon realised that below the surface of their
stories were the remnants of an ancient, rural culture previously
ignored by historians. In the detail of village architecture, the
of superstitions of tree-planting and rituals house-building, in
the esoteric practices of horse cults or the pagan habit of
'telling the bees', The Pattern Under the Plough unearths the rich
seam of customs and beliefs that this old culture has brought to
our communities. Even in modern societies, governed by science and
technology, there are still traces of a civilisation whose beliefs
were bound to the soil and whose reliance on the seasons was a
matter of life or death.
