Lewes Bonfire Council - Bonfire
Held every year on Nov. 5, Bonfire Night celebrates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605 — an attempt by English Catholics to blow up Parliament and start an uprising against King James I and his Protestant rule. Bonfire night was, of course, encouraged by the Church of England. It died out everywhere but Sussex.
