bridesmaid hiring


It is another of Tillings customs to hire out bridesmaids.
This quaint tradition is lost in the mists of time but probably not unconnected with the large number of hat factories in the town wishing
to maximize their sales opportunities.
There is a lengthy ritual associated with the hire - do not approach one
in ignorance of it!
Here is a photo of one of the first of the season, standing hopefully
ready with his posy.
