Whitby Penny Hedge Ceremony 2015 was a race against time ….and tide. The North Sea was higher than than usual on Acension Eve morning and it kept coming. When the traditional Hornblower failed to turn up, the Bailiff, Lol Hodgson, completed the annual construction of the hedge single handedly - and wet footed. Fortunately, Moira Clarke, musician for the Redcar Sword team, was spectating and was recruited to blow ‘ye ancient horn’,. This she dutifully did … History was made!
Thanks to Jill Pidd for the close up footageof the horn blowing.
