Folklore: love, death and bottle-kicking

I guess Doc Rowe has covered the bottle-kicking at Hallaton?

This puts a different spin on its origins:

burial at the Chapel of St Morrell

"Roman archaeology found beneath the medieval chapel suggests that the hilltop, which is the starting point for the Hare Pie Scramble and Bottle Kicking, has been a special place for over 2000 years".
