Love these articles - but I don't understand this - "the Medieval English celebrated it as the 'Corn Moon'"
Didn't corn come from the New World and therefore there was no corn in Medieval England?

The word "corn" predates European discovery of maize, and refers to a number of cereal grains.

Here is a link to a good summary article about the origin of "corn".
