Editorial

Welcome to 2023 – yet again we’re hoping for a nearly normal year. We have an interesting update on the ‘Voices of Morris ‘ project which has been ongoing for the last few years. Also you can read both a profile from inside one of the few ‘unbroken’ Cotswold traditions and a previously little-known authorised history of a twentieth-century reinvention of a Cotswold tradition. Then, by contrast, a look at Molly reinvented away from the fens and a historical survey of Derbyshire morris.
