Poundbury used to be stocked on May Day (this being the commoners' rights). "Dorchester folk were wont in olden time, it is said, to go forth to its flowery and airy sward a-maying and to drink syllybub of fresh milk." Ah the rural idyll. Quote from 'Dorsetshire Folklore' by John Symonds Udal (1922).
