GUEST,Les in Manchester UK The origins of Morris Dancing (45) The origins of Morris Dancing 06 Nov 02


Am I correct in thinking that their is sufficient evidence to suggest that the most significant origins of Morris are not ancient ritual but courtly dance, possibly from Germany?

If this is the case does any body have an idea when North West clog morris first appeared, assuming that it is a development from 'Cotswold'?

Six men (sorry people) up for this?

Cheers

Les
