Michaelmas: During this holiday the local mayor or lord placed a large glove atop a high pole to denote the fair's meeting ground. Booths were set up and crowds gathered around the glove. In order to participate in the fair, the merchants promised to give a portion of their proceeds to charity. For the feast, goose was served. After the twelfth century, ginger dishes also were traditionally included.
