MB V; Jour EFDSS; TM; RD. RD's additional sources were RKS' and Clive Carey's MSS. Sharp included reference to some Bledington dances in the first edition of MB III, where they were not distinguished from other traditions; he omitted them from the 2nd edition. They danced in 1923 to John Hitchman and later to Charles Benfield who Sharp, Macilwaine and Butterworth had interviewed and collected several dances.
