local tradition. No doubt, such customs, along with various religious customs and traditions, attached to certain calendar dated, constitute the soul of British social culture and are of great interest for a researcher. At Lichfield, a festival commonly called the Greenhill Bower and Court of Array takes place annually in late May or June. This is really two customs, of which the first the Bower is said to run back to the time of King Oswy of Northumbria, who founded Lichfield in A.D. 656. In the Middle Ages, the city guilds used to meet at Greenhill, carrying flower garlands and emblems of their trades. Now the Bower ceremonies have become a sort of carnival, wherein lorries carrying tableaux, trade floats, decorated carts, and bands pass cheerfully through streets profusely adorned with flowers and greenery.

He rose to a bishopric, and and went on pilgrimages to Jerusalem and Rome. St David's Cathedral now stands on the site of the monastery he founded in the remote and inhospitable valley of 'Glyn Rhosyn' in Pembrokeshire. *The Synod of Whitby 664 The Roman monks who were sent to convert the "English" to Christianity, found that the missionaries from Ireland observed Easter at a different time from that which had been appointed by the Roman church. King Oswy, who was seriously concerned about the religious differences decided to call a meeting of church leaders in 664 to resolve things once and for all. This became known as The Synod of Whitby as it was held at Hilda's monastery. It was shown that the Roman ways stemmed directly from St Peter, who held the keys of Heaven. The king hardly wished to offend St Peter and decided in favour of the Roman ways. *Offa's Dyke Offa was a very powerful King of Mercia. Offa's Dyke is a linear earthwork
