Back in the days when churches had cold earth floors, the annual renewal of rushes on the floor for cleanliness and warmth became an occasion for celebration. The Lymm Rushbearing procession has been revived in recent years, though the event was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid-19 and went ahead in 2021.
The Warrington Guardian has a good description here.
