Random information on the term “Whitsun”:
The Parish ale or church ale was a party or festivity in an English parish at which ale was the chief drink. These were typically fundraising occasions for the parish, which might include music, dancing and other activities. Very common in the later Middle Ages, they encountered some opposition after the English Reformation, though some survived until modern times in some form.
The word “ale”, in the sense of an ale-drinking party, was part of many compound terms for types of party or festivity based on the consumption of ale or beer. Thus there was the leet-ale (held on “leet”, the manorial court day); the lamb-ale (held at lamb-shearing); the Whitsun-ale (held at Whitsun), the clerk-ale, the church-ale etc. The word “bridal” originally derives from bride-ale, the wedding feast organised to raise money for the couple. The bid-ale, once very common throughout England, was a benefit feast to which a general invitation was given, and all those attending were expected to make some contribution to help the object of the benefit, usually a poor person or family or some other charitable cause.
