Traditions: Bun Throwing!
Bun throwing first began when rich people started giving bread to the poor which then moved on to the rich giving cakes to the poor on special occasions. The town of Abingdon took up that tradition and in 1760 when King George III came to the throne, councillors threw thousands of cakes to the crowds to celebrate the coronation.
- The phrase ‘sleep tight’ came from the time of William Shakespeare where beds were secured by ropes. The tighter the rope, the firmer the mattress.
