Whifflers of Norwich

Tony Harper mentioned the Whifflers of Norwich to me today and I thought a related article would be of interest.  Most of you probably know the Whiffler Pub on the Ring Road at Hellesdon but what is a Whiffler?  What important role did they perform?  When did this art die out?  What was the processional route they took through Norwich?  What type of costume did they wear?  To find out the answers to these questions and more related information please select the following link:
