May Queens: The Reverend Winchcombe Henry Howard Hartley noted on May 1st 1827: "We were much pleased to witness the little May queens carry their little garlands at Maidenhead. I much love these relics of the simple and harmless amusements of our ancestors; alas they are now rarely to be met with." |
