Description

Summary: Two silver plate tankards from the Stonehenge Solstice 1927. Associated with a contest to award the Stonehenge Flitch in a manner similar to the Dunmow Flitch, to the happiest couple. It seems to have run for at least three years in the 1920s and was broadcast live on the BBC. Fascinating reports in the newspapers of the time.
