An exhibition of 45 morris dancer dolls, instigated and stored by the Museum of British Folklore, is currently situated within the Folk Art galleries at Compton Verney, Warwickshire.

Morris sides from all over the country were invited to dress a small mannequin in their kit as part of a project to portray the morris today as a dynamic alternative to photographs.

Why not visit and see who you can spot?

The exhibition will run until 25th June 2017.
