[Bardfield Fair 25 June]
'All through the preceding night, the rattle of gipsy caravans and the patter of sheep, the clop-clop of ponies from Wales and the New Forest, would be heard in the lanes, so that, as old Mrs.
Howe will tell you, 'we used to keep getting out of bed to go to the window to watch them.'
C Henry Warren, The Land Is Yours, 1943, page 72
