HEMINGSTON, (Suffolk) on the E. side of Needham, was a manor held by Baldwin de Petteur; for which, says Camden, who bids
us observe the name, he was obliged every Christmas-day to perform before the K. one Saltus, a Sufflatus, and 4 Bombulus;
which, as Camden interprets it, was to dance, to make a noise with his checks, and to let a fart. Such was the coarse
jollity of those times.
