The article you refer to is in the Documents & Articles section on this website.

There is a small mention of Morris Dancers in William Wickenden's book

'Poems and Tales: with an Autobiographical Sketch of his early life' which is fully readable on Google Books.

'My native village........ Here the morris dancer used to assemble every evening, for many weeks preceding Whitsuntide to rehearse their several parts in the approaching gala and the shrill squeal of their violin and the merry clash of bells echoed far and wide. All was rollick and glee, mirth and jollity.'
