THE LITTLE BRAMPTON WOMENS INSTITUTE AND THE VILLAGE GREEN

Here we are outside Josh's home on Little Brampton's village green. It's a popular spot for local festivities and major events. May Day Queen, markets, hangings, birthday parties and Witch BBQs and many more. The local council backed by the powerful WI have long resisted any attempt to build on the land. Here we see two members of the WI who have volunteered their time to impale and cook live witches transported from the Eastwick hangings. A dozen should suffice the hunger of the expected crowds descending from Eastwick Hill.

The ladies of the WI wrote a song in praise of Little Brampton's village green and all that they cherish about their way of life. In modern times members of a pop group visited The Hanged Witch pub and overheard the ladies of the WI singing their song. It was copied as The Village Green Preservation Society with the same tune. If you know it you can sing along to the original lyrics which are reproduced here..


BRAMPTON GREEN



We are the Brampton Green Preservation Society.

God save our Mystery plays, vaudeville and variety,

We are the Robin Hood Appreciation Society.

God preserve our Witch's jam and all the different varieties.



Preserving the old ways from being abused.

Protecting the new ways, for me and for you.

What more can we do?



We are the Roast Witch Beer Preservation Society.

God save Maid Marion and down with sobriety.

We are the Witch’s pie Appreciation Consortium.

God save our Witch hunters, and all those who serve with them.



Ooooh…



We are the Geoffrey Chaucer English speaking Vernacular.

God save the Pardoner, Wife of Bath, and Narrator.

We are the dirty Frogs Persecution Affinity.

God save little shops, china cups, and virginity.

We are the Moslem Mosque Condemnation Affiliates.

God save Tudor houses, antique tables, and billiards.





Preserving the old ways from being abused.

Protecting the new ways, for me and for you.

What more can we do?



We are the Brampton Green Preservation Society.

God save The Hanged Witch pub, cold Witch pies, and The Hanging Tree.

We are the Lionheart Appreciation Society.

God save our Witch recipes and all the different varieties.



God save our Brampton Green!

Thank goodness someone keeps traditions alive (and witches not)...

So very clever!!! I loved every line of this. God Save Brampton Green!
 
IMG_1428.JPG I believe that's Witch Dorothy, second from the left and immediately to the left of me. I wish she would stop howling like that. It hurts my ears! :confused:

My God, I can't imagine how they ever got those spits through us like that without killing us. Now we must face the hot roasting coals still alive! :eek:
 
A bit of Olde Englishe nostalgia:

Yes. I remember Brampton Green
The name, because one afternoon
Of heat, from the train station could be seen
Unwonted glee. It was late June.

Roast flesh hissed. Steel spits speared girls’ throats.
Not one was spared, and each one came,
Bare on the platform. What I saw
Was Brampton Green —only the name,

And witches, witchy girls, bare arsed,
And greasy sweat, and boys’ cocks high,
Each lass well grilled, or medium rare,
With her plump breastlets skinned to fry.

And at that minute a witch was hanged
Close by – then out came to the fryer,
Fresh from the larder, all the girls
Of Bramptonshire and Borsetshire.
