<br />Remember those who gave us our freedom 1606 & 1690 FTPtag:ilovejackdaniels.com,2007:571692007-11-05T20:37:30+00:002007-11-05T20:37:30ZComment on Lewes Bonfire Night 2004Comment by Bonfire Boy ( <a href="www.cliffebonfire.com">www.cliffebonfire.com</a> )<br /><br />Bonfire night has been celebrated for 400 years, almost. It was in 1606 that Parliament proclaimed ‘An Acte for a publique Thancksgiving to Almighty God everie yeere of the Fifte day of November’ and that it should ‘be held in a perpetual Remembrance’. Here we are in 2005 with a stronger than ever desire to remember the foiling of the plot. Lewes will always remember because Sussex won't be druv!tag:ilovejackdaniels.com,2005:10662005-11-08T21:04:46+00:002005-11-08T21:04:46ZComment on Lewes Bonfire Night 2004Comment by Dave Child ( <a href="http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com">http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com</a> )<br /><br />I'd be a little surprised that there are any bonfire night traditions that have existed over 400 years. It wasn't until after 1847 that bonfire night celebrations became more than just drunken revelry and violence. And even though the martyrs were burned in the 1500s, bonfire night hasn't yet existed 400 years.tag:ilovejackdaniels.com,2005:10302005-10-26T13:12:29+01:002005-10-26T13:12:29ZComment on Lewes Bonfire Night 2004Comment by Anon ( <a href=""></a> )<br /><br />Please dont go to Waterloo's site. They are the most recent bonfire society and refuse to follow traditions that have existed for over 400 years.
<br />Regardless of this, their fireworks arn't the best in town.
<br />Waterloo are somewhat looked down apon by the other societies, in a classic bonfire rivalry way ;)tag:ilovejackdaniels.com,2005:10272005-10-26T10:42:14+01:002005-10-26T10:42:14ZComment on Lewes Bonfire Night 2004Comment by neil ( <a href=""></a> )<br /><br />your comment about lewes having a very `anti-catholic feeling is incorrect.
<br />it is just a celebration of what happened, nothing else, a night of fireworks & revellry. just a nights fun.
