IT'S said you have to earn a crust, but one group of children received a loaf of bread for free in an ancient custom that dates back to Tudor times.
Children in the villages of Fleggburgh, Billockby and Clippesby have been given a loaf each new year since at least 1527.
The tradition is connected to a trust fund generated by Penny Loaf Field, opposite Fleggburgh Primary School.
The loaves were handed out to the children, by Dave Woollard who is a trustee of the fund. The Rev Graham Steel explained the custom to the children.
