Tom Bawcock's Eve

Tom Bawcock's Eve is celebrated on the 23rd December. It pays tribute to Brave Tom Bawcock the fisherman who saved the village from starvation.
The story goes that when the seas where too stormy for the fishing boats to go to sea Tom sailed out in the stormy sea and caught enough fish to keep the villagers alive until the storms abated.
The catch was made into Stargazy Pie, where the fish are cooked heads and all, with the heads placed so that they look up (star wards).
The Stargazy pie is still available in mousehole, prepared in the Ship Inn.
