Henry Bourne photographs the folklore and customs of the British Isles: events founded on pagan, Celtic, Germanic and early Christian roots that survive as quaint anachronisms yet remain vibrant and relevant, continually adapting to circumstance. Recorded rites and customs, practised by whole crowds, involve dance, theatre and music.
