Frairy is given as the Suffolk form of fairy… Pharisee is the form with which I am myself familiar. Pharisees’ ring was the name applied in my childhood to the ‘sour green ringlets’ of Shakespeare’s Tempest, while the star-marked fossils — I forget their scientific title — that occasionally turn up in stone droppings, were known as Pharisees’ loaves, Olim Agrestis, Suffolk Notes and Queries, Ipswich Journal circa May, 1877.
