Peter Bellamy : The Fox Jumps Over the Parson's Gate

Soundtrack taken from Peter Bellamy's long unavailable 1970 album of the same name, the sleeve-notes to which read:

'The Fox Jumps Over the Parson's Gate - Straight from the Bellamy family repertoire. The words from a Randolph Caldecott picture book. 'The tune,' says Peter Bellamy, 'from me mum'. PB was fascinated with this song as a nipper and continues to be so. With justification.'

I wonder, is this the first time Peter's superlative rendition has been united with Randolph Caldecott's inspirational pictures? (The entire book can be viewed on-line at: Randolph Caldecott : The Fox Jumps Over the Parson's Gate (and there was an original 1888 edition avaiale on ebay when I last looked!)
