Description

Every year, in the Staffordshire village of Abbots Bromley, six local men carry deer antlers on their shoulders and lead a day-long procession through the village and local area, stopping at various locations to perform 'The Horn Dance'. No-one knows exactly when or how it started, but the ritual has been performed for centuries and is believed to have pagan origins. Before the Romans came to Britain, most of the West Midlands, including Abbots Bromley, was inhabited by a Celtic tribe called the Cornovii. In Celtic languages, 'corn' or 'cornu' or 'kernu' means horn or antlers. It gives rise to words like Cornwall, and Cernunnos, the Celtic horned god who is depicted in Iron Age engravings with antlers protruding from his head. The Cornovii, in their own language, were 'The People of the Horn'. By a strange coincidence, modern day descendants of those people still perform an ancient horn dance whose origins have been lost in time. Maybe it is not a coincidence all.
