Easter Bread and Cheese in a Quiet English Village
In Biddenden Kent near Ashford Easter was marked by churchwardens distributing bread and cheese to visitors. The ritual honors 12th century founders Eliza and Mary Pivalkhurst who died days apart leaving a land endowment for the Easter feast. The stamps bear their likeness and dates, drawing visitors seeking the cake as a curiosity. A separate note from Dexter Me recounts a fox chased by a dog, ending with the fox driven into a shed.
