Links seem to go back even further than first anticipated. When discussing the Morris and Masons fraternity within our folk world it is interesting to note that in 1583 Captain Haies of the Golden Hinde wrote upon sailing from Plymouth: "We were in number in all about 260 men; among whom we had every faculty good choice, as Shipwrights, Masons, Carpenters, Smiths and suchlike. Besides for solace of our people and allurment of savages we were provided of Musike in good variety; not omitting the least toys as Morris dances Hobby horses and Maylike concerts to delight the savage people"
