Hello there. I'm doing some research for a BBC drama based round the song Scarborough Fair, and I would like to know several things:

1. Is the version collected by Sharp in 1913 from Richard Hutton in Goathland the earliest collected version?
2. How many others are there and where were they collected?
3. Are there any accounts of Sharp meeting with Hutton?
4. Are there any accounts of Sharp's visit to Yorkshire in general?
5. I've read that SF is a descendant of 'The Elfin Knight' of which I believe there's a manuscript from the 17th century. Does anyone know where that MS was collected and where it is now?
6. Am I right in thinking there's a set of versions called 'Whittingham' or 'Wittingham' Fair?

Rather a long list I'm afraid, but I hope someone will be able to help me with one or all of the above!
