Sunday 6th January we had a Plough Sunday Service at Upton Church. Originally Plough Sunday was the day before Plough Monday, the first Monday after 12th Night and the day that work in the fields restarted after the Christmas festivities.
The village plough would be brought to the village church to ask a blessing on the work that it would do. Then it would be danced round the village.
Worcester Young Farmers brought the plough and a milk church and soil as we asked for God's blessing on the work of the farms in this coming year.
