Beating the Bounds
3 days to go
Leaders: Peter
The annual Beating the Bounds walk - a tradition that goes back many hundreds of years – takes place this year on Sunday 24 May 2026.
We don't go round beating boundary stones with sticks (Basil Fawlty?), but in the parallel Rogation tradition, we do stop to pray for God's blessing on all the various activities in the parishes of Hethel and Bracon Ash. We'll leave Hethel Church at 2.30 pm and return around 4.30 pm for (of course) tea and home-made cakes. Always enjoyed by those with two legs or four, and we know our prayers are heard for the wellbeing of all.
There's a fascinating Wikipedia article at Beating the Bounds
