In NW Morris perhaps but isn't Bampton's traditiom pretty much unbroken for longer than Carnival Morris has been about?

Would Bampton have survived if it wasn't for interest from the revival in 1906? By all accounts it was on its last legs. To what extent does the expectations of The Revival define Bampton thereafter? It's a fascinating history all the same. Read all about it at http://www.bamptonmorris.co.uk/.

The thing about Fluffy Morris is that it has nothing to do with The Folk Revival in any shape or form but remains a living, breathing tradition, no matter how old it might be. I might add I didn't even know it existed until moving to the North West a couple of years ago and even now view from a respectful distance, if at all. Maybe one day someone will do the definitive history; maybe they already have.
