Yes Countess, It is the Mr Gordge of Bridgewater version - I mis-spelt it earlier, and may well have done so again!
I haven't heard Jim Eldon's singing for years, so must reacquaint myself with it. Looks like we have similar interests.
And Brian, when you get a good tune it would be a real pity to let it stay in a book. Get it out and sing it is what I say. I would never have done "Pride of the Season" if I had worried about it not being English. The Peacock collection is a wonderful resource for great songs and all the better for now being on CD-Rom with recordings of original source singers.
