Thread Name: English Folk Songs
Subject: RE: English Folk Songs
I don't think any mummies have been found anywhere at all in British archaeology, though I'd be more than pleased to be proved wrong. The -den suffix generally means a valley, except IIRC in Kent, where it refers to a woodland pig pasture. I'm not sure that either vallys, mummies or pigs have very much to do with English folksong.

Any songs about a mummy?
