The Dunmow <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/flitch" class="extiw" title="wikt:flitch">flitch</a> was referred to in <i><a href="/wiki/Piers_Plowman" title="Piers Plowman">Piers Plowman</a></i> and by <a href="/wiki/Chaucer" class="mw-redirect" title="Chaucer">Chaucer</a>, and seems to have already been widely-known at that time. A similar tradition practiced at <a href="/wiki/Wychnor" title="Wychnor">Wychnor</a> in <a href="/wiki/Staffordshire" title="Staffordshire">Staffordshire</a> can be traced back to the fourteenth century; related customs are also known from mainland Europe in Brittany and Vienna. </p><p>The Dunmow tradition died out after 1751. It was revived in 1855, largely inspired by the novel <i>The Flitch of Bacon</i> by <a href="/wiki/William_Harrison_Ainsworth" title="William Harrison Ainsworth">William Harrison Ainsworth</a>. The revived tradition continues in Great Dunmow. Every leap year, a public mock-trial is held for claimants of the flitch; counsels are appointed for the claimants and for the flitch, and they argue their case in front of a jury of six maidens and six bachelors. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Dunmow">Dunmow</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Flitch_of_bacon_custom&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Dunmow"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Flitch_of_bacon1905.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Flitch_of_bacon1905.png/290px-Flitch_of_bacon1905.png" decoding="async" width="290" height="196" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Flitch_of_bacon1905.png/435px-Flitch_of_bacon1905.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a3/Flitch_of_bacon1905.png/580px-Flitch_of_bacon1905.png 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="433" /></a><figcaption>The <a href="/wiki/Great_Dunmow" title="Great Dunmow">Dunmow</a> flitch of bacon festivities in 1905</figcaption></figure> <p>The best-known example of the awarding of a flitch of bacon to married couples occurred at <a href="/wiki/Little_Dunmow_Priory" title="Little Dunmow Priory">Little Dunmow Priory</a> in <a href="/wiki/Essex" title="Essex">Essex</a>.
