Footnotes

1.The Boxgrove Tipteers were not a traditional team, but used a combination of the East Preston and Iping versions.
2.Pt.3 addition
3.The play from here is known as the Compton and Rogate play. There is no evidence for a separate Rogate text, but it is not clear whether one team served each place, or both villages supplied a joint team.
4.The Ditchling and Eastbourne teams are not shown here because there is no evidence that they were traditional.
5.Pt.3 change: Christmas and source Sharp,R.J. MS added. Text availability changed from 'No Text' to 'Frag.'.
6.Sawyer (1883b) reports seeing performers in Furze Hill in the 1860's. Furze Hill is a street in Hove.
7.We have not seen this text.
8.The text given in Parish (1875) is identical with that from Tenby, Pembrokeshire, and may not be the correct one for Selmeston.
