Carolling takes place in the streets of the North Cornwall fishing village of Padstow on Sunday nights in December. The carols sung date back to the nineteenth century and earlier, and stylistically are charactersistic of the West Gallery period. The carol-singers, despite the high standard of their singing, are not an organised choir, and do not rehearse. Until her death in 2005, aged over 90, the singers had been led for many years by Molly Pinch.
