Bampton Traditional Morris, first dance after tea
The Bampton Traditional Morris Men had their tea in the old school in Church View for many years. In the last few years, they began a tradition of doing a dance inside, away from the public to get their legs going again but it was done without music. It was lovely hearing just the bells and their feet on the floor and the men enjoyed doing it.
You can see and hear them do one of these dances at https://youtu.be/ivLRLXqZIjo
