'Manuden ("the valley of the people of Manna") is an attractive village. There is in its main street a very old house, at the back of which you would find buildings which look like cloisters; they were really " maltings"-that is to say, places for brewing beer-and in the church there is a chancel-screen which any artist would admire. It was at Manuden that "Bumping Day " was celebrated, until about fifty years ago, on the 29th of May. "It was customary for the lads in the village", we are told, "to plant boughs of oak very early in the morning at the doors of the principal inhabitants, returning to the evening to claim largesse".
