'Wood of Faces' (now defunct) on May Eve 2000 after dressing Jack in the
Green. Here are 'Hard Times' and a solo from
the Old Man in mpeg format.
- John Forrest's book The History of Morris Dancing,
1438-1750 (Studies in Early English Drama) has been published. Both hardback
and in paperback editions are available in the UK from James
Clarke & Co., an imprint of The Lutterworth Press.
- We can now count a Nobel Laureate and Knight amongst our past Squires!
Sir John E. Walker

1999 New Year's Honours List! (Squire: 1966). He also received an Hon. D.Sc.
at Encaenia the same year.
