Mereton Staithe

Mereton staithe is the landing at Mereton, where the ferry-hands work. The eleven holms send their speakers to Mereton twice a year for the reed sessions. As at every staithe in the wet country, a lamp burns there nightly from Michaelmas to Lady Day, paid for by the ferry family, and once a year the priory blesses the staithe lamps at Mereton.
