Morris Dancing in The Forest of Dean (General)

by ijriddell @, Cinderford, Monday, November 07, 2011, 15:34 (4768 days ago)

Does anyone have any information on Morris Dancing, Mumming etc. in The Forest of Dean? As a member of The Forest of Dean Morris Men I would be interested to hear of any reminiscences.

There was an incident on The Plump near Mitcheldean where, in 1884, there was a skirmish between Morris dancing sides from Ruardean and Mitcheldean at the Point Inn. The dancing ground was disputed and a fight erupted which culminated in a dancer being killed. Does anyone know any more about this?

Thanks
