Thread Name: Origins: Sussex Drinking Song (Hilaire Belloc)
Subject: RE: Origins: Sussex Drinking Song (Hilaire Belloc)
We are indeed enriched by the presence of the two great luminaries of the folk song movement in Sussex and Surrey 'slugging' it out over the merits of each others county brew. Belloc would have been delighted! I have to side with Vic on this one despite the fact that The Crabtree, immortalised by HB in The Four Men was indeed a King and Barnes house.
