As Monty Python used to say in the hit TV series of the 1960s and 1970s: "And now for something completely different..."
Tudor celebrations will be held in Brigg town centre on Saturday, September 12, when Pennants A Flutter will see a Tudor banquet, succulent hog roast "and the very latest vegetable - a potato!"
It's to be hoped that Brigg folk will "Raleigh" round to attend this event (pardon the pun!)
There will also be a chance to learn about falconry, archery and jousting.
Brigg town centre's population of pigeons might want to have an away day in respect of the former.
During Tudor times, what was Brigg like? It was only a small settlement, centred on what's now the Market Place, with a bit of activity along the river bank. The Ancholme was still tidal, with no protection against the inwash from the Humber at South Ferriby.
