On Pig Face Day in Avening, villagers feast in the village hall after attending evensong at the church. Legend has it that Queen Matilda, wife of William the Conqueror, commissioned the church to ease her guilt over having her unrequited love thrown into prison. When the church was finished, Queen Matilda gave a feast of a pig’s head to the builders.
