Past to Present

Huthwaite Whit Walks

Difficult asserting exact year Huthwaite churches began annual Whit Walks, believed inaugurated here by earliest Wesleyan Methodists. Elders can still tell how such time of year was widely celebrated. Equivalent modern day chrismas, but with necessary gifts of newer Sunday best clothing to be proudly shown off on our Monday Whit Walk. I enjoyed hearing the bands, later joining. Tthe bannered procession was always led by at least one band marching through streets often lined with people who met upon the Market Place.

Few can recall exact years taken, or name everyone shown, so I've ordered these by comparable locations.
