I'm looking for the words and music of a song called Howden Fair. All I know about it is that there is a reference to it being sung at a banquet in 1911 by a Mr Edward Peacock and that there were a number of different versions. Howden is a market town in East Yorkshire that had an annual fair for centuries. In the early 1800s it became the biggest horse fair in Britain when, in a fortnight in September, buyers came from all over Europe to buy horses, often for their armies, and over 16,000 horses were sold. It died out in the 1840s with the coming of the railway.

Any help in tracing this song would be gratefully appreciated.
