In church followed by refreshments at Manor farm, Fenton.
The observance of Plough Sunday on the First Sunday of Epiphany goes back to Victorian times, but behind it there is a much older observance, associated with the first working day after the twelve days of Christmas, hence ‘Plough Monday’ in some places.
In medieval times some ploughs were kept in the parish church, and some churches kept a ‘plough-light’.
In days when work was scarce in winter, the observance looked forward to the time of sowing with the promise of a harvest to come.
Some Christian communities have reintroduced it as a focus for asking
a blessing on human labour near the start of the calendar year.
