GUEST,littlelamb Origins: Folk tunes in methodist hymn books? (9) Origins: Folk tunes in methodist hymn books? 12 Sep 11

Hi

I'm new on here but I'm starting a dissertation on folk songs local to my area. I'm from near Ingleton, N. Yorks so looking at songs from North Craven and South Westmorland preferably. It's quite a Methodist-y area and I've been struggling to find original tunes. I've found references to folk songs being 'wiped out' in areas such as Cornwall and Wales where there is a big Methodist influence and I think the same could be true for this area.

Does anyone know where I might find some actual evidence of this or could suggest where I may find some really old Methodist hymnals to steal some tunes from?

Thanks, littlelamb
