EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1931, we are transported back to the quaint village of Newbiggin in Northumberland, where an ancient custom is being upheld with great enthusiasm. The image captures a moment during the traditional practice known as "Beating the bounds" a cherished event that dates back centuries. As we delve into this snapshot of history, it becomes evident that this gathering holds immense significance for both the parish and its people. A group of locals can be seen joyfully making their way through the picturesque countryside, following the age-old route designated by their ancestors. Alongside them, they carry baskets and containers eagerly awaiting donations from fellow villagers. This unique tradition not only serves as a means of reinforcing community bonds but also acts as a source of financial support for local initiatives. As they traverse through fields and streets alike, these dedicated individuals collect cash contributions from generous onlookers who recognize the importance of preserving customs deeply rooted in religion and heritage. The scene exudes an air of camaraderie and devotion as participants engage in lively conversations while fulfilling their roles within this time-honored ritual. The photo encapsulates how traditions have always played an integral part in shaping societies throughout history. Thanks to Memory Lane Prints' remarkable collection, we are granted access to such fascinating glimpses into our past – moments that remind us of our shared humanity and reinforce our connection to those who came before us.
