Words and music from a traditional Christmas

With bands of Carollers and Wassail songs, tales of Poachers and Ghosts - and hospitable customs like Mumping and Clementing, the Winter season was a time of fireside celebration and travellers' voices at the door. A combination of traditional stories, customs and carols from the English countryside provides an ususual view of local life at Christmas past and present.
