Transcribed from the Charles Clarkâs Private Press 1847 edition by David Price
"Fairlop and Its Founder; or, Facts and Fun for the Forest Frolickers." by Charles Clark is a historical account written during the mid-19th century. The book tells the story of Fairlop Fair, an annual gathering that celebrates the legacy of its founder, Mr. Daniel Day, who organized this event in the Hainault Forest area. It captures the spirit of the fair as a locale for community joy and camaraderie, showcasing its significance in local culture and history. The narrative primarily unfolds as a biographical account of Daniel Day, shedding light on his character, charitable acts, and eccentricities. It details his efforts to create a jovial atmosphere where people could gather and enjoy innocent fun, alongside anecdotes and memoirs associated with the Fairlop Oak, the event's centerpiece. As Day's traditions took root, the fair evolved into a notable celebration marked by various festivities, refreshments, and community engagement. Through lively poetry and songs included in the text, the book encapsulates the joy and merriment that characterized Fairlop Fair, preserving the legacy of both Day and the festive gatherings that continue to be cherished to this day.
