    PICTURESQUE ELECTION OF BOY BISHOP

    With picturesque ceremony Mervyn John Ellis, aged 13, was elected to the position of Chylde Bishop by the boys of the St Mary of The Angels Song School, at Addlestone, Surrey.
    The ceremony is a revival of the old English custom of pre-reformation days when every song school and also many villages had their own Boy Bishop.
    The boy holds the position for one year and is entitled to certain privileges including his own jam pot at tea time. He is also allowed to speak in the plural.
