Ebernoe Horn Fair

Towards the end of the day the highest scoring batsman is presented with a set of horns.

Centuries ago horn fairs were boisterous events where cuckoldry and seduction would not be unknown.

Ebernoe Horn Fair was also the day on which gardeners were reminded to sow their spring cabbages.

"[2] This song also seems to have been used at a Horn Fair at Charlton in Kent which, after a history dating at least from the 16th century, died out in 1872.

In 1951 Mr Morrish of Great Allfields Farm, Balls Cross reintroduced the song.
