Williams / others notes
Alfred Williams: This is part of the note from Music and wine Gl 38, I would remark of Aldsworth that like Bibury, it has been famed for its song. Here Morris dancing too, was practised, and much merry making observed in times gone by. All the old Morris dancers are dead now, and the music is still. The last of the Aldsworth Morris Men, James Mander, aged 77, met his death by an unfortunate accident at the threshing machine but a few days ago. His clothes became tangled with the spindle and he was whirled round with the wheel. I was acquainted with the old man and he was to have told me some songs on the very evening of his death.
