Brownies are house spirits which can be roughly classified as fairies. A typical brownie has the role of a helper but his view on house chores is pretty specific. Traditionally he works for the owners of the house by night, do what he (it looks male gender is in majority among brownies) is in the mood for (not as the master of the house might prefer) and is not always nice.

North Waltham Mummers, Hampshire, c. 1949 (Photographer: Douglas Dickins). Mummers’ Plays are a form of traditional drama, usually performed in the streets with a small but varied cast including St. George, the Turk, a doctor, and sometimes Santa Claus. Most mummers’ plays feature a combat scene in which a combatant is wounded or killed and then miraculously revived by the doctor. The costume varies from region to region, but those in Hampshire are known for their “tattered” jackets.
