Liland,

WINCHESTER OLD is almost universally used in UK as the tune for "While Shepherds Watched", but there is an increasing use of "Ilkley Moor Baht 'At", probably as a result of increasing media exposure of the South Yorkshire carols tradition. Both that and the 'Sweet Chiming Bells' version were sung at our local folk club last week.
