Archive Photo : May Queen

Picture shows local girls dressed in fine robes and headdresses. It was traditional to have two "queens" - a new queen (most likely to be the girl on the left with the longer cape), and an outgoing queen (the girl in the centre, with the shorter cape). The "queens" were chosen from the local teenagers.

Attendants and retinue were likely to be younger children, and could include paige boys.

These events were often staged at spring and summer festivals, and were sometimes linked to Christian holidays of Easter or Whitsun.
