worthing night
worthing night n. (apparently) the evening of, or the evening before, an unidentified church festival.The specific sense of quot. c1400 is uncertain; while N.E.D. (1928) suggested the sense ‘? Sunday night’, worthing night is assumed by most editors and commentators to refer to a festival falling between December and Lent, and the feasts of the Epiphany, Candlemas, and Ash Wednesday have all been offered as possibilities.
