LOCAL NOTES AND QUERIES No. CCCCLXXI. THE MORRIS DANCE AT EYAM
*Nottinghamshire Guardian,
6th Jul.1889
"It was a custom in the early part of this century for the young
men of Eyam to prepare and dance a morris on the
wakes Monday, in Eyam Edge, a mountain top near
Eyam. I do not suppose this custom is still practised,
but I shall be pleased to know when it was discontinued.
The Wakes at Eyam are held, I believe, in
August or September."
