My wife came across this thread as she was hoping to find the carol being sung/played.

I'm sorry to disappoint you Red Roses but the carol originates from God's Own White Rose County.

My late father's copy (from the 1930s), originally named Sabbath Bells, names the composer as W.A. Ogden with words by J. Rinder. It was published by James Broadbent & Sons Ltd, Boston Spa, Yorkshire. Priced at two (old) pence it was number 271 in their Gem series.

My wife and I were still singing this in the open air around the Richmond Hill Methodist Circuit of Leeds in the late 1960s, any my sister still embarrasses the younger generations by making them sing it around the piano every Christmas.
