Bucknell

A village in Oxfordshire and a Cotswold Morris tradition. The tradition continued longer than some - up to the 1880s. Sharp reported that the dances were similar to Kirtlington and the Bucknell men attended the Kirtlington Lamb Ale in the week after Whitsun. A handkerchief only tradition (no sticks) and music by pipe and tabor.
