I wouldn't bet 2 cents that there's anything in 'The Chime Child' that's authentic. Faith Sharp notes in the forward that she noted the tunes from a tape made by Ruth Tongue and a friend, i.e., not from the presumed original singers. If I remember correctly, Anne Briggs is another English woman 'folklorist' that only collected things that nobody else had ever seen, heard, or ever heard tell of. Their works are highly suspect.
