Hocktide is the period covering the Monday and Tuesday after Easter and was once the first major festival day after Lent. It was a time for sports and games as well as a day for the collection and payment of rents and dues. Nowadays it passes almost unnoticed.
On the Monday the men would be caught and tied up with ropes by women who, as in the Easter Lifting, would then demand money from them for their release. On the Tuesday the roles were reversed. In most cases the funds went towards buying food and drink for the revellers, but some Churchwardens’ Accounts state that this ‘Hock Money’ was often donated to parish funds.
The origins of this practice (in fact, Hocktide in general) are uncertain, but they certainly go back a long way. For example, in 1497 13s 4d (65 Ap) was ‘gathered by the women on Hob Monday ’ in the parish of St Mary Le Hill, London, and in 1607 ‘women went a-hocking’ in Chelsea and collected 45/- (£2.25p). An astronomical sum for those days.
