EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph from 1930, a group of cheerful choirboys gather at Lincoln's Inn, London, with rods in hand, preparing for the ancient ritual of Beating the Bounds. Dating back to pagan times, this custom was once an essential function for marking and preserving the parish boundaries. The boys, dressed in scholarly attire, pose confidently before setting out on their journey. The ritual begins with the boys, led by a priest or church official, making their way along the parish borders, using rods to mark the boundaries and ensure that the lines are clear. This was an important task, as the boundaries determined the jurisdiction of the parish and the rights and responsibilities of its inhabitants. As they move through the countryside, the boys sing hymns and recite prayers, asking for God's protection and guidance. The ritual also served as a time for the community to come together, reinforcing the bonds between neighbors and strengthening the sense of belonging to the parish. Despite the passage of time, this ancient custom continues to be celebrated in various parts of Britain, providing a link to the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the country. The cheerful faces of the choirboys in this photograph capture the spirit of the tradition, as they proudly carry on a ritual that has been passed down through generations.
