Framed Print of Cutting the Ashen Fagots; Devonshire, 1854. Creator: Edmund Evans
Cutting the Ashen Fagots; Devonshire, 1854. Old English Christmas tradition. A faggot (large log or a bundle of ash sticks) is bound with nine green lengths of ash bands or beams, preferably all from the same tree. The faggot must be burnt in a hearth on Christmas Eve, while people sing Christmas carols. The ash is said to be the only wood that will burn green, and it is the policy of the wood-cutters to lay as many binds upon the fagot as possible, as it is an old established custom that every bind should represent a jug of cider, not that this is the limitation of quantity consumed on the occasion, only that this is part the ceremonial. A hot supper is usually provided, and the wives and children of the labourers and servants, together with the farmer and his family form a jocund party, and there is no end of good solid cheer and hearty enjoyment, which lasts far into the Christmas morning'. From Illustrated London News, 1854. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
