Cyril Papworth was still dancing the Comberton dances in the early 20th Century and wrote a load of these down, so you might say he "collected" them from himself. See (e.g.) this short article.
Cyril

Wikipedia appears to be fairly accurate too.

It's hard to know what's "traditional" and what's "modern" anyway in this context as it was always a living thing and Cyril not only taught a number of Morris teams his dances, he also appears to have written some too ...
