That's fascinating Les B. Do you ahve an idea of the nature of the dance? I remember a thread about the Abram Circle Dance, which is quite unlike most Nothwest dances. The implication being that it was closer in style to Cotswold and hence evidence of Morris that pre-dates the "Industrial" Morris of clogs, big sides and bands.

Is their no evidence of longsword in Yorkshire before 1712?

Thanks for that

Cheers
