Beating the bounds is a centuries-old tradition, aimed at reminding everyone of boundaries that were important in their lives. During Rogationtide – the fifth week after Easter – villagers, with the rector and other local dignitaries, would walk the parish bounds. The children would carry willow wands to beat the boundary markers with and in some ceremonies children had their heads bumped on boundary stones to imprint them firmly in the memory!
