Whitsun Farthings

Ayliffe, Parergon , 1726 (p. 434), has the following: " Pentecostals, otherwise called Whitsun Farthings, were Oblations made by the Parishioners to the Parish Priest at the Feast of Pentecost." At times they were contributed by in- ferior churches or parishes to the principal mother church.
