Commentary

This map is an improved version of one that appeared in my PhD thesis (Millington, 2002, pp.269-270, Map 11). In this version, generated by the Scripts Explorer, the markers coloured, whereas the original map was in monochrome. The scripts database has also grown slightly since 2002 (Millington, 1994-2006).

This was one of three maps used to show how the Saint George play components of East Midlands Plough Plays are indistinguishable from those of the Northern English group.
