1751 Bacon Claim Dunmow Happily Honoured Married Gammon


EDITORS COMMENTS
On this historic day, June 20, 1751, in the quaint English town of Dunmow, the joyous scene of newly crowned married couple Thomas and Ann Shakeshaft unfolds. The Dunmow Flitch Trials, an age-old custom deeply rooted in the region's folklore, had brought them to this moment. For over 700 years, the trial had challenged married couples to prove their happiness and devotion to each other, with the promise of a flitch of bacon as a reward. Thomas and Ann, with their beaming faces and radiant smiles, had successfully passed the test, impressing the judges with their heartfelt answers and unwavering commitment to one another. The crowd, gathered to witness the event, cheered and applauded as the victorious couple received their well-deserved prize – a whole gammon of bacon, symbolizing prosperity and abundance. The Dunmow Flitch Trials, a unique and intriguing piece of Britain's rich history, brought the community together to celebrate the joy and strength of marriage. This photograph captures the essence of the tradition, immortalizing the moment when Thomas and Ann Shakeshaft were honored for their love and happiness.
