The response of A.Roberts to the allegation by the National Folk-lore
Society (sic.) that there is complete apathy to folklore in Notts. It mentions
collecting Mummers' plays, "Robin Hood's Garland", the Bozart or Marsh Spirit
at Thurgarton, the sturgeon in the Trent as an omen for the Clifton family, and
ghosts at Scratton Wood and Rufford Abbey. Up to 1827 people went to Westhorpe
Dumble between Oxton and Southwell to hear the church bells of the lost village
of Raleigh.
