These photos taken in 1980, show members of the Bampton Traditional Morris Men who are frequently guests of Abingdon Morris on their Mayor Making Day, along with their wives and girlfriends. In years when the whole side is not invited two members with partners are always invited.
These three photographs are of one of the visiting sides to Bampton in 1985 dancing in the Market Square outside the Village Hall in two pictures and at the West end of the Square in the third picture.
William Nathan 'Jingy' Wells danced, fooled and played the fiddle for Bampton Morris from the late nineteenth century and well into the twentieth. In this picture he is seen with his fiddle. The hat, waistcoat, trousers and socks (odd socks) are still cared for by the Bampton Traditional Morris Men.
