This place is celebrated for an ancient custom which has prevailed from time immemorial of presenting a gammon of bacon to any married couple "who for a year and a day after their nuptials have neither quarrelled or become offended the one with the other, nor in any way repented in thought, either sleeping or waking, of their state of wedlock." The "Flitch of Bacon" is carried in triumphal proce ion, and awarded to the succe ful competitors, who, as may be surmised, are "few and far between." The Dunmow flitch is mentioned in Lang lande's Vision of Piers Plowman, and also in Chaucer's Wife of Bath's Prologue . It is also the subject of an interesting novel by William Harrison Ains worth, who, in 1855, himself presided at the ceremony, and awarded the "flitch" to two bli ful couples. In 1859, the "flitch" again found a claimant, and two years later, no fewer than three cases of matrimonial felicity were proved entitled to it; among them the Chevalier de Châtelain, a well-known French literary gentleman, and his wife, a lady also known in the field of letters.
