Happy #PloughMonday! Throughout history, the first Monday after Twelfth Day was celebrated as agricultural workers returned to the fields. Plough lights would be lit in the parish church, processions held and a fool would collect money in hopes of protecting coming year’s crops. https://t.co/x2TC4F4cld

Today is Plough Monday, the first Monday after Twelfth Night - traditionally the first day back to work after the Christmas season, and an excuse for more festivity. It was a day for blessing the tools of work in preparation for the year ahead. (Dictionary of English Folklore) https://t.co/i8U2cevZov

Norfolk Plough Pudding, made to the fabulous recipe from @lavenderandlovage to mark Plough Monday. The first Monday after Epiphany, today is when agricultural workers returned together land after the Christmas break, marking the start of the agricultural year. #ploughmonday https://t.co/ZGXYEs2xdX

'God spede the plow and send us ale corn enow oor purpose for to make: At crow of cok of the plowlete of Sygate: Be mery and glade wat good ale yis work mad.' runs the 15c inscription with its cunning double meaning below the tower at Cawston, Norfolk.

Did you know that the 1st Monday after Twelfth Night is Plough Monday? Today :) In some parts, farm labourers would drag a decorated plough around the streets. The ploughmen would put on their best smocks for the occasion. Have you heard of Plough Monday before? Let me know. https://t.co/Y91vKOKN67

Today is #PloughMonday, the first Monday after Twelfth Night. Men, stripped to their shirts, draw the plough in procession. Their arms and shoulders are decorated with gay-coloured ribbons tied in large bows, their hats also. There is music and sportive dance, and strong ale. https://t.co/e20EkJ1Wwg

On this Plough Monday, horse-drawn ploughs in glass by Margaret Edith Rope, who often featured nostalgic views from her early life in rural east Suffolk. A detail of the memorial window to her parents at Leiston, 1959 and behind St George, 1949 at Chediston, both Suffolk. https://t.co/GSKUPXFp5p

In Tudor times today would have been known as 'Plough Monday', the first Monday after 6th January. The day when things would return to normal and people would go back to work after the twelve days of Christmas - lucky them! #HeverCastle #PloughMonday https://t.co/jr6AlBF9VC
