Location: Hendred House

 Bun & Penny presentation

Shrove Tuesday was the traditional day for the bun and penny presentation at Hendred House, an event going back over at least a century.

Over 200 children at the village schools queued up for their Millennium bun and penny, handed out by Mr.Tom Eyston.

The traditional "shroving" song was sung by the children:
"Pit pat, the pan is hot,
Here we come a-shroving,
With a butcher on your back,
A halfpenny's better than nothing"
