Bampton Traditional Morris Men : Francis Shergold
6 Pages article about Francis Shergold written by Keith Chandler
Francis Shergold resigned as Squire of the Bampton Morris in November 1995, after an astonishing 60 years as dancer with the side - 45 of those as Squire. He was awarded the Gold Medal of the EFDSS in 1996 as had the former Squire, 'Jinky' Wells, some 38 years before. With the rebirth of MT, it seemed an appropriate time to commission an article on Francis, as he assumed the mantle of Honorary President of the side. At 79, he continued to participate in all the side's activities, including the dancing at times,
Keith Chandler's article follows Francis' career through to the 1980s,
