It’s Widecombe Fair tomorrow - who’s going?🎶🥇🏞️🐑☀️🍺🌳🐮

There are lots of versions of the famous ‘Widecombe Fair’ song. In 1950 my grandfather was told that ‘an old lady in Widecombe “whose father had sung the song for the Revered Baring-Gould”…was adamant about the existence of an eighth character riding on the grey mare who was expunged from later popular versions…’ and he ‘included him in square brackets. The musical reader will notice that Bob Paul’s presence gives a better rhythmic scan, as well as rhyme.‘

My new book ‘Dartmoor Myths & Legends - Exploring Origins and Inspirations’ is being sold in Widecombe by Sexton's Gallery that beautifully curates local artisan works and crafts, and also the wonderful System from Ashburton will have a few copies as part of their stall - go and visit!📕🐉🔥🐺🐇🧙‍♀️
