A significant number of traditional songs found in Southern England in the early part of the 20th century were in 5/4, though opinions as to the best way of noting such things differed, as did opinions on how they came to be that way. Some collectors (typically those who just did a small amount out of interest, and weren't very experienced) were quite confused by that, and tended to worry that there was something wrong with their notation. There seem to have been clusters in particular districts, and some singers favoured them more than others. Mixed rhythms of 5/4 and 3/2 (or 6/4) were not infrequent, too.
