A short ceremony will be held in St Jerome's Church, Llangwm for presentation of the Lammas loaf and singing of three hymns chosen by the parish, followed by bread, cheese, bangers and beer (included in ticket) at Church Farm by kind invitation of Lyn and Bill. Their swimming pool will be open for children and their supervising parents.
Lammas is the festival of the first wheat harvest of the year. On this day it was customary to bring to church a loaf made from the new crop.
We are attracted by the tradition of churchwardens brewing ale in the church brew house for a church-ale, to be drunk at a parish party, the proceeds helping to maintain the church. As we do not have a brew house we shall purchase beer from a local micro brewery. Alternative drinks will be available.
