Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'Songs dealing with the miller and his trade were generally popular, though perhaps with those of higher intelligence and better education than with the bulk of the rustics. At the same time I have met with the two following songs [Miller of Dee] in many villages and have heard them from farm labourers. Copy obtained of Raymond Smith, gamekeeper, Bibury.'
Note 2
In the file is what I presume to be the original transcription in pencil of the song which has the signature, 'Keeper Smith, Bibury'
