Terry Rouse, Morris Dancer & Fool 1964 - 2000

- 1969-1999
Terry Rouse began dancing in 1964 for Francis Shergold's Morris side. That year was a very wet time and Francis's side was in need of somewhere out of the rain to rehearse ready for Whit Monday and Terry invited him to use his barn at Backhouse Farm. Already a keen dancer of both ballroom and country dancing, Terry loved what he saw and asked to join the side and so began a long career both as a dancer and in the later years the Morris Fool, finally retiring in 2000.

These two photographs were taken in the first half of the C20th. Sadly, I don't know their names but they look to be really enjoying themselves.
