Stoke on Trent had one written probably ten years ago by Duncan Bourne (The Penkhull Wassail) which is still sung; but that's possibly not the sort of thing you're after.

Have you already trawled through Duncan Broomhead's Folk Play Research website?

Is that where the Alderley song came from?

I'm surprised how little comes up for the northwest on the Master Mummers site. :(

Might be worth asking on Facebook?
