A Marldon farmer, George Hill, used to take his apples to St Marychurch in panniers on a donkey in the 19th century. Later he became famous for making a big apple pie and paraded it around in a donkey cart before it was eaten.
Marldon Apple Pie day was revived in 1958 to raise funds for the village hall. It has a procession through the village led by a donkey cart and ends with festivities on the village field.
