"I mean we all take Harvest festival to be an 'ancient' custom, though another of those elusive Radio 4 programmes said that it was 'invented/ reinvented' by a vicar in the mid nineteenth century."
That may well have been the case, in a church sense, I don't know. However I do know that Lugnassa festivals only really started to die out in Ireland around 1900ish.
