Morris Dancing in Bampton in Oxfordshire 2001

Bampton in Oxfordshire is famous the world over for its Morris Dancing and this film was taken in 2001. The men dance on spring Bank Holiday Monday now, but it used to be Whit Monday until the government of the day decided the Bank Holiday would be the last Monday in May regardless of whether or not it was Whitsuntide, a day which now passes un-noticed by just about everyone. As ever, it was a happy day.
