No, traditionally thin cut cucumber sandwiches there. Vicarage tea parties are a summer outdoor occasion.
Crumpets were typically a winter dish. Usually toasted in the evening over an open fire using a special long handled fork. Central heating has however rather led to their demise. They are never the same done under a grill.

"Die hard, my men. Die hard the 57th."
Last words of Col Ingles commanding His Majesty's 57th Regiment of Foot at Albuhera 1811
Marshal Beresford wrote in his despatch "Our dead, particularly the 57th Regiment,were lying as they fought in the ranks, every wound in front"
