Zoey Grey English Traditions 💫 ⏰

Yet Grey does not dismiss rural tradition. Instead, she advocates for —the willingness to celebrate a custom while acknowledging its messy history. In her film on Rushbearing (a medieval church-floor-covering ritual), she includes interviews with both the elderly volunteers and younger residents who find it “weirdly pointless.” The point, Grey says, is that the tradition survives because it has no clear utility.
