The story is that 1445, a woman is Olney was making pancake on Shrove Tuesday when the church bells rang. She didn't want to be late, so she ran out of her house. She was wearing the typical apron and headscarf of 15th Century housewives. She was also carrying a frying pan with a pancake in it when she arrived at the church! Today, the people remember that event with a Pancake Race every year on Shrove Tuesday.
