The Maypole, Wellow
One of around 70 remaining traditional maypoles in the country, and one of a handful where the tradition of dancing is maintained. This takes place at the Spring Bank Holiday weekend, which was a few days before my visit, and the ring of worn grass is still evident. The maypole itself is not particularly old, there being a history of renewals a successive examples have become life expired. Recorded history of the maypole dates back to 1856, and new poles were erected in 1860, 1887 (Golden Jubilee), 1923 (reduced in height in 1937), 1950, 1966, 1977 and 2010. Until 1977 all the poles had been of timber, but by then finding suitable long timber was problematical, and the replacement that year was a steel pole. The 2010 replacement is again a tubular steel pole. Uniquely it is not circular, but has 18 sides.

Wellow, Notts.
The Maypole, with its crown and cockerel aloft, sits centrally between Eakring Road in the foreground and Maypole Green its rear. The pole was last replaced in 2011. The original shape of this green space was (is) unique for a Nottinghamshire village green. Over the centuries footpaths and buildings have contributed to the alteration of its original shape, as has its bisection by Eaking Road. The green's shape is that of an isosceles triangle (i.e. the shape of a C12/C13th arrow head) and it is said that its orientation, pointing 17.5 degrees west of south, was constructed to cock-a-snook at the Sheriff of Nottingham, by pointing its tip towards his stronghold.
