Here's the recording by Kate Burke and Ruth Hazleton: My Grandfather Knew the Plough

And by Nic Jones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o5Vrzq1Fhg

Reinhard has limited information on the song at Mainly Norfolk: https://mainlynorfolk.info/nic.jones/records/bbc.html

Like Tim Radford, I'm wondering if the name of the songwriter is known, or if it's traditional. Up above, Borchester Echo says it was written by Nic Jones. Can we verify that? Googling gives me the idea that the song may be based on an essay titled "My Grandfather" by W.B. Yeats, but I don't have definitive info on that.
