Until some point in the early part of the 20th century, an unusual custom still took place in Holne. The custom would involve a ram being brought from the moor before daybreak on Old Midsummer’s Day, then tied to a menhir (a large upright standing stone) approximately 6ft high in Ploy Field. The animal was then killed, roasted whole and then sliced up. The inhabitants then scrambled for the food.
