The Dunmow Flitch Trials is an ancient custom with a traceable history back 900 years. The Dunmow Flitch trials are mentioned by the Wife of Bath in Geoffrey Chaucer’s very explicit 14th century book ‘The Canterbury Tales.’ A book which is still printed and read. The Trials were commonly known about in 14th century England. We in Dunmow are proud to keep this tradition alive.
