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