Every May Day the members of St. Michael at the North Gate in Oxford mark the limits of their parish by "Beating the Bounds," hitting special marker stones with willow rods. This is their story.

Excellent video. Although it's not on May Day that the beating happens, but on Ascension Day (which may occasionally be the same day, as far as I know). Beating of the Bounds 2011 is happening this Thursday, June 2!

A great mini-documentary, nice job. Oxford must have more odd ancient ceremonies per square mile than most cities... this is one haven't managed to see so far!
