"Grovely! Grovely! and All Grovely!"proclaim the inhabitants of Wishford

" Grovely! Grovely! and All Grovely!" proclaim the inhabitants of Wishford, Wiltshire during the Oak Apple Day procession from the village to Salisbury Cathedral. The custom, part of the celebrations held each year on May 29, commenorates an oldestablished right of the villagers to collect firewood from the neighbouring forest of Grovely. At one time the villagers danced from wishford to the Cathedral. Now, the six-mile journey is made by coach. Outside the Cathedral a Traditional dance is performed. After the dance the villagers process up the aisle to the High Altar where they are seen here holding oak boughs as they proclaim, " Grovely! Grovely! and All Grovely!" June 1959 P005051
