Gwyn Richards reports from Tetbury in Gloucestershire, where every year on the spring Bank Holiday Monday they hold a Medieval Fair. The fair includes many of the familiar staples of an English village fair - Morris Dancing, fancy dress, a Punch and Judy show, and the like - and some less familiar ones, like the "wench auction." The main attraction, however, is undoubtedly the infamous Tetbury Woolsack races - a gruelling physical challenge that sees teams laden with heavy sacks of wool running up and down the 1 in 4 gradient of Gumstool Hill.
