Subject: Stories and songs about bears From: Mo the caller Date: 15 Jun 19 - 06:24 AM After a conversation with Flora see other thread I went in search of the Congleton bear "Congleton Bear, Congleton Bear They sold the Church Bible to buy a new bear" It seems that the true story was more complicated. In 1600 The town bear was a source of income at the town wakes, but when it died they borrowed (and repaid) the fund for replacing the town bible to buy a new one. Strange to think of a time when town bears were more common than books. Congleton still has a bear , it sponsors a rescued Moon bear |
