Tichborne Dole
The Tichborne Dole is a traditional English festival of charity which is held in the village of Tichborne, Hampshire, during the Feast of the Annunciation. The festival is centered on the handing out of donations of flour, which have been blessed by the local parish priest, from the front of Tichborne House.
The festival dates back to the 12th century (circa 1150) and was started by Lady Mabella Tichborne who, on her death bed, instructed that a donation of farm produce be made to the poor each year. Presently, the terms of the Dole stipulate that adults from the parishes of Tichborne and Cheriton are entitled to claim 1 gallon of flour, and children half a gallon each.〔(The Tichborne Dole ), Historic UK (2007-07-28)〕〔Legacies - UK history local to you - Southampton: (The Tichborne Dole ), BBC (2007-07-28)〕〔(Tichborne Dole ), Strange Briton (207-07-28)〕〔(The Tichborne Dole ) (2003-03-26), Independent Catholic News (2007-07-28)〕〔Hendricks, George D (1996) "Curse of Tichbornes Finally Comes to Pass", Western Folklore, V28#2. pp. 146-147〕
==The Crawls==
According to local tradition, Lady Tichborne's husband, Sir Roger Tichborne, did not approve of her charity and agreed to her bequest on the condition that the Dole consisted only of produce from land that she was able to encircle under her own power while carrying a burning torch in her hand. Lady Tichborne, who was in poor health, is said to have successfully crawled around a field before the torch went out. The land which she is said to have encircled is known locally as ''the Crawls''.〔〔〔〔〔
