Legg said the tradition was for wassailers to wear cast-offs from people, usually top hats and tail coats.
The 84-year-old has been a member of the Bodmin Wassailers for over 50 years.
He said the group had six members singing as three members were unable to join but “it didn’t make any difference – we can all sing, we can all have a good time and we can all wassail.”
He said they were not seeking recruits because “when you visit someone’s house, you can’t overwhelm them with lots of men – it’s not really fair on the homeowners to be overwhelmed by 10 or 12 men.”
They carried a wassailing bowl with them, to receive wine or beer.
