Susan Silvester in Curdworth, near Birmingham - between in the beginning of the 1880's and the 1890's

from In a World That Has Gone, page 5:

Besides the simple pleasures I was speaking of earlier, which my mother used to try to provide for us, there were several red-letter days which we used to look forward to. The really big one was the Druids' Club Walk, when the members of the club with a lot of followers used to walk in procession with a banner and a brass band to Curdworth Church. There was a good deal of drinking on this day but the attraction for us children was the band, and the fair which was held on the village green.
