Notes on phone call from Mr Charles Dowty. His father took over the blacksmith's
shop in Oxton in 1910 from Tom Shipside. His father played the dame in
the Plough Monday play in Cropwell Butler in the 1890's and he remembers
him saying the lines 'In comes I Dame Jane with my neck as long as a crane'.
He knows nothing about Plough Monday in Oxton. He suggests contacting
his old school friend Rev John Spencer, who revived the play in Dunham-on-Trent
when he was vicar there but who now lives in Sutton-on-Trent.
