The folklore and folk customs of England are rich and varied. Many customs are ancient, passed down, generation to generation from our Germanic and Celtic ancestors. Others are more modern creations, whilst others are revivals of customs that were forgotten or neglected over the years. Whatever their root, and whatever their age, they all make up the rich and diverse folk heritage of England and the English.
