Identification
Item: The annual May service at Madron Baptistry
Description: The Vicar of Madron, the Reverend Michael Hocking leads the service at the Baptistry. Behind him is the Bishop of Truro. It would seem that a procession led by the church banner of St Maddern, clergy and choir made its way from the Church to the Baptistry for this annual May celebration. Historically, the waters here were restorative but the village of Madron relied on this source of water until 1939 brought mains drainage to most of its homes. The water had a distinctive metallic taste.
