Sowerby Bridge Rushbearing
Revision as of 13:17, 1 July 2007 by JohnnyAdams (talk | contribs)
The Sowerby Bridge cart takes to the road on the first weekend in September. There were several rushcarts in the Pennines and the Lake District and they are a remnant of the practice of laying rushes on the dirt floors of the churches as a covering.
