Hello Lolly. The archives I mentioned are those of Emma Dent, writing in 1892. She was a great benefactoress of the town. I don't think the archivs have been published, but you can find them in the Winchcombe Folk Museum.
Looks like great fun and it's lovely to see you revive this old English tradition. By the way are the archives you mentioned online? would be very interested to take a look if they are! Thanks. Lolly
I think that you are right - it was a long procession! Glad you liked the tunes - they are 2 tunes collected in Gloucestershire, namely "Three Meet" and "Chelford Races".

Excellent procession! Was it my imagination, but did Jack start to look tired by the end?? Great music too!
