Well dressing (and dressing well?!)

Well dressing is practised in a number of towns and villages in England's Peak District. Natural materials such as flower petals are used to construct colourful and elaborate pictures that commemorate various themes. These vibrant women were created in Youlgreave (or Youlgrave). Here is a link to a site which gives more information abou the custom: www.youlgravewelldressers.co.uk/Welcome.html
