Around a dozen Leicester Morrismen danced with
white rags to a fiddler in the shadow of a folly known as Old
John in Bradgate Park, Newton Linford, about 100 miles north of
London.
After their exertions, which Morris dancers trace back to the
15th Century or earlier, some drank beer served in traditional
pewter tankards.
The art form’s origins are disputed, though there have been
signs in recent years of a revival of Morris dancing in England.
