DESCRIPTION:Rushbearing\nRushbearing is a celebration of the Parish Church
 \, and its patron saint St Oswald. Prior to the laying of the pew wooden f
 loors and slate aisles in the church\, the floor was rough earth covered i
 n rushes. Each year the first covering with new rushes was the occasion fo
 r a festival. \nThe first mention of Rushbearing was in 1680 in the Warden
 's accounts 'for ale bestowed on those who brought rushes and repaired the
  church\, one shilling’. \nGrasmere Rushbearing in its present form goes
  back to the 1840s. Traditionally the Bearings are shapes representing bib
 lical and religious themes\, today Bearings come in many shapes and sizes.
