Here are some photos taken today at the annual mummers play outside The Bear in Wantage. A mummers play has apparently been performed locally every year since 1977 and there were two other performances today in Faringdon and Childrey. Much of the play consisted of the skirmishes between King Alfred and the Napoleon look-a-like, Beau Slasher, finishing up with Old Father Beelzebub commenting on the issues of the day and some Morris dancing.
