   Martinmas was the feast of St Martin, held on November the 11th. The feast was celebrated by great debauchery and boozing, the revellers becoming very drunk. The feast of Martinmas originated from the Anglo-Saxon slaughtering time, when the sheep and pigs were slaughtered and the meat salted for winter.
