As the UK gears up for bonfire night (here in London it usually means fireworks being fired into or from buses) <a href="http://mikejay.net/articles/we-burn-to-remember/" target="_blank">Mike Jay</a> presents a rollicking history of the wild anti-papist celebrations enacted every 5 November in <a href="http://mikejay.net/articles/we-burn-to-remember/" target="_blank">Lewes</a>, E Sussex. Brass bone and fur-clad vikings bear burning crosses through flame-drenched streets accompanied by zulus, pirates and, my own favourites, the sinister foxes.

Meanwhile, feast your eyes on <a href="http://www.cliffebonfire.com/galleryseventeen.html#Top" target="_blank">Mark Bennett</a>'s photographs and the flash new <a href="http://www.cliffebonfire.com/" target="_blank">Cliffe Bonfire Society</a> web site.
