Morris men

You might see Morris men at the Bury Christmas Fayre with their sticks, swords, handkerchiefs and bells. They are also at Wandlebury Park at 0530 every May Day doing their dance. They say that the dancing dates back to 1448 but the earliest mention that they get is in the late 15th century. There are more than 150 teams of Morris dancers in the United States.

Good fun to watch!
