Parish Ales as folklore?!

[edit]

Before the English Reformation, Parish Ales were brewed and sold to raise funds for the parish. Many perhaps most parishes had a church-house close to the church, where, amongst other things, the ale was brewed. It is not uncommon for church-houses to have survived as pubs — quite independently of the church. See for example (refactored)Eamon Duffy’s Voices of Morebath where the practice is described in some detail. I cannot see how it is in any sense “folklore”.

It depends upon how you define "folklore". As a calendar custom, it would be accepted by most definitions. Neil S. Walker (talk) 10:11, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Remove 'In other media' section?

[edit]

I'm thinking of removing the entire 'in other media' section since it seems too difficult and unnecessary to continuously update. An interested reader could probably go to the page of a certain piece of folklore to see other media of it.

Also, is it recommended for me to post these kinds of high-impact changes on the talk page? I'm a new editor of Wikipedia and I'm wondering how far we should go with the 'be brave' thing :) Emmder (talk) 08:16, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE! I've just removed that section but please go to my talk page or talk here if you want to discuss. Emmder (talk) 23:40, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
