This paper examines the emergence, over the past three decades, of innovative folklore motifs in “The Hunting of the Earl of Rone,” in the Devon village of Combe Martin. This calendar custom, which was extant prior to 1837, was reconstructed in 1970 and has now become an established annual tradition. Detailed records of the source, stimulus and function of the various “new” elements (including plant-lore, dance steps, cross-dressing and rites of passage) show that individual creativity and group aesthetics have operated in constant tension to evolve the custom as it is today
