Subject: RE: Songs to Star of the County Down?
There is another thread somewhere in which someone points out that although Vaughan Williams heard The Murder of Maria Marten (not Dives and Lazarus) in Kingsfold, Sussex, the arrangement he used for the tune was derived from Dives and Lazarus as collected by Lucy Broadwood, and Vaughan Williams would already have known this tune, as it was published in 1893.
