Looking at the wiki article I see it is done now in kemsing , Kent , not far from us and I never knew it. I first heard of well dressings from the then secretary of the open air mission who attends the same church as we do. They used the occasion to present the gospel message in a chapel utilising pictures of the dressings with bible themes ...god botherers, as someone above says! Apparently they were quite popular and appreciated.            Slight thread drift but scarecrow festivals are getting quite popular too.
