EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the quaint English town of Kingsteignton in Devon during the 1950s, showcases the lively atmosphere of the annual Ram Roasting Fair held on Whitsun Monday. At the heart of the celebration stands the majestic Maypole, adorned with colorful streamers and garlands, surrounded by the May Queen and her Maids of Honor, along with a young boy. The May Queen, dressed in a beautiful white gown and adorned with flowers in her hair, presides over the festivities with a regal grace. Her Maids of Honor, dressed in traditional Devonshire attire, join her in a joyful dance around the Maypole, weaving in and out of the ribbons with practiced ease. The young boy, with a mischievous grin on his face, adds a playful touch to the scene. The Ram Roasting Fair was an age-old tradition in Kingsteignton, with the Maypole dance being just one of its many customs. The day began with the roasting of a ram on a spit, followed by a procession through the town with the cooked meat on a pole, and culminating in various games, activities, and dances. This photograph not only captures the essence of a bygone era but also the spirit of community and tradition that continues to thrive in Kingsteignton. The Maypole dance remains a cherished custom, attracting visitors from far and wide to experience the unique charm of this Devonshire town.
