Today is Midsummer Day, the feast day of St John the Baptist, celebrated for centuries with bonfires on the eve and a vigil until sunrise. It is also one of the Quarter days, when servants were hired and rents and debts were due. #FokeloreThursday https://t.co/BxsvwdLKnX

She wasn't the only supposed-witch to be imprisoned at Leeds Castle! A generation before, Joan of Navarre was imprisoned by her step-son King Henry V accused of planning the King’s death by witchcraft by the ‘most high and horrible means’. #LeedsCastle #FokeloreThursday

Eleanor of Gloucester was found guilty of #witchcraft in 1431. She was imprisoned at @leedscastleuk in #kent for life, where it's said she cast a spell. Visitors often report seeing a strange #blackdog there. According to #folklore this is an omen of misfortune. #FolkloreThursday

Swan Uppers at the London Stone at Staines, which was the limit of juridsdiction of the City over the Thames. Swan Upping once divided the swans between the Crown, the Vintners Co. and the Dyers Co. but is now a useful census each July. #FokeloreThursday https://t.co/E4FMT379vh

#FokeloreThursday Legend has it St Winning sent monks from #KilwinningAbbey to fish the River Garnock, but no fish could be caught. The saint cursed the river, preventing it from ever having fish in its waters. The river changed course to avoid the curse. https://t.co/ZLhZMZ6xbG
