PHOTO. Girls from St. Joseph and St. Teresa schools perform Maypole dances in Wells Market Place on Mayday bank holiday Monday, a tradition where people used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. People then danced around the tree poles in celebration of the end of winter and the start of the fine weather, which would allow planting to begin.
