BICESTER’S Jubilee celebrations look set to blast off with the decidedly eccentric tradition of ‘anvil firing’, which involves an anvil, gunpowder and a very loud bang.
But as we all know, Oxfordshire is stuffed full of quaint and eccentric rituals (Think of Abingdon’s historic ‘bun throwing’ for instance).
So please let us know what bizarre traditions and rituals your village or parish will be indulging in this year.
After all, isn’t it what makes us so English?
