Footnotes | |
| 1. | Given as Auston by Broadwood & Fuller-Maitland (1893), which location does not exist. Ordnance Survey (n.d.) shows North Anston and South Anston in this position. Pt.1 change: Delete entirely. No evidence for drama of the type listed in this book. |
| 2. | Pt.3 addition |
| 3. | Pt.1 change: Time of appearance changed from Christmas to New Year |
| 4. | The dance still continues but without any trace of a play (Peacock Coll.). |
| 5. | Pt.2 change: Source Carpenter Coll. added |
| 6. | Pt.2 changes: c.1880 changed to .c1930. Easter and source Brennan (1976) added |
| 7. | Jackson (1793) does not give any exact location, but Jackson spent his youth in Yorkshire and Westmorland. He was born in 1742 and his father held the living at Keighley, Yorks. The play account he gives could be 'Sword Dance' or 'Wooing' but no dance is mentioned. This is an important reference although it is difficult to be sure of its interpretation. |
| 8. | Pt.2 changes: Christmas changed from Christmas to Easter or Christmas. Source Wilkinson (1867) added |
| 9. | Pt.2 note: There is a point at which the word 'traditional' loses its meaning, and I have not attempted to improve the entries for Midgley and similar teams. |
| 10. | Pt.2 changes: c.1880 changed to c.1910. Source Baron Coll. added |
| 11. | Pt.2 changes: 1966 changed to 1969. Sources Hislop & Trenow (1970) and Carpenter Coll. added |
| 12. | Pt.1 change: Grid Ref. corrected from SE3489 to SE3439. |
| 13. | Pt.2 changes: Text availability changed from 'Frag.' to 'Text'. Source Mummers' Act added |
| 14. | Pt.1 change: Grid Ref. corrected from SE5422 to SE6422. |
| 15. | Pt.1 change: Delete entirely. Same as Anston |
| 16. | Pt.2 changes: c.1864, Christmas, and sources Andrews (1873?) and Banks (1865) added |
