This is a bottle party sponsored by the town vicar
This is a bottle party sponsored by the town vicar. According to tradition the rector of Hallaton has to provide the beer which fills the bottle that is, the five-pint barrel which is used as football in the annual inter-village bottle kicking contest held between the village of Hallaton and Medbury. He also has to provide a hare pie to be divided among the players. The object is to get the barrel, by fair means or foul, over the boundary brook dividing the two villages. After a recent contest, Fred Jones, of Hallaton, is shown top of the Butter Cross on the village green holding the bottle aloft. After this victory flourish the beer was divided among the villagers. But five pints didn t go far. There was a heavy run on the village pubs to make up the deficiencey. Leicestershire, 12th July 1946
