The Mumming Play
The Origins of Mummers Plays are believed to be rooted in the oldest of pagan ceremonies combined with the "Lord of Misrule" customs, and were a traditional part of Christmas at the Court of Edward III (1327-77). In the early Middle Ages the Church introduced Saints and Old Testament Prophets into the drama to produce Christian Miracle Plays, but perhaps it was the other way round.
Despite the efforts of the Clergy and the popularity of the Miracle Plays, they never quite succeeded in ousting the old pagan Mumming Plays, which remain popular to this day. In these the players disguised themselves by blacking their faces or by wearing masks, and garments made from ribbon or strips of paper, a custom that still survives at Marshfield in Wiltshire. The practice is based on an ancient belief that if the Mummers were recognised, the magical power of their play would be broken.
Although there are many regional variations, the main plot of the traditional mumming play revolves around a battle between Saint George and an enemy who is variously called The Turkish Knight, Bold Slasher, or the Black Prince of Paradise. The climax comes when one or other of the protagonists is killed. The Doctor then intervenes and miraculously restores him to life. This simple story symbolises the eternal struggle of good & evil, light & darkness, fertile spring & sterile Winter - an expression of man's preoccupation with the cycle of the seasons.
THE ACTING SONG
You Gentlemen of England
I'll have you to draw near,
And mark these words which we shall say,
And quickly you shall hear.
CHORUS
Repeat the last line, e.g. "and quickly you shall hear", then
With your ha'pence and strong beer
And we'll come no more a guising,
Until another year.
The winter it is with us now,
So dirty wet and cold,
To try your good nature
This night we do make bold.
THE PLAY
Go down into your cellar,
And see what you can find,
If your barrels be not empty,
We hope you will prove kind.
chorus
So now we make an ending,
Of what we did begin,
For going out a Guising,
We think it is no sin
chorus

Our play was "written" in 1981 by Peter Hicks. He researched as many Mummers Plays as he could, (quite a feat in itself in 1981 without the internet) and took what he considered to be the best bits from each and cobbled them all together! He looked at the Mylor version, but also the Symondsbury, Sussex and Carrington Moss plays, all of which feature the King of Egypt's Daughter and have very familiar sounding lines.
The Original Play was for seven players
Page - not known (but possibly Vic Legg)
Father Christmas – Chris Ridley
St George – Peter Marlow
Turkish Knight – Peter Hicks
Doctor – Roger Hancock
Besty Bub – Vic Legg
Big Head (Musician) – Dave Blayney
It is recorded that we performed it in 1981 and 1982, but it was never mentioned again until 1996. The numbers involved since then have varied with perhaps as many 13 characters being involved, though probably not all at the same time.
The first 'performance' was at the Folk Club, at Christmas in the old hut behind the Flowery Cow, by process of elimination, It all came to pass sometime between 1973 & 1975.
Father Christmas will be there to open the event

Trigg History
MORRIS DANCE IN CORNWALL

TRIGG AND THEIR HISTORY
Thank you for taking the time to stop and watch us, as audiences have done since we gave our first public show in July 1971. We enjoy performing and appreciate the interest you show. We must also thank those who make it all possible, such as Publicans, Local Authorities, The Police, and our supporters.
Our costume reflects our rural background, and you will note that our green baldrics are decorated with Celtic designs that are found on the Ancient Stone Crosses located around the County.
Our name comes from "The Hundred of Trigg", an ancient administrative area of Mid Cornwall, and most of our dancers live within reasonably easy reach of Bodmin. ( We have no links at all to Colonel Trigg who fell at the Battle of Blue Lick , Kentucky)
We perform dances of the "Cotswold" style: Fieldtown with sticks or handkerchiefs, Bucknell also with sticks or handkerchiefs, but with the hands at shoulder height, and Stanton Harcourt, which hardly anyone else still remembers, but where we have the handkerchiefs on our little fingers and sometimes with both sticks and hankies at the same time! As well as the occasional Lichfield dance with 8 dancers. Click here for ridiculous amounts of additional data
We mainly dance on Thursdays, but we have no recollection why we chose that day. But we've been doing it so long it must be a tradition by now.
Morris dancing is a tradition that goes back a long time, but so long that it was never written down, so it's your guess what it looked, or sounded like in Shakespeare's time and before. Some people like to think it's a fertility rite, or linked to John of Gaunt and Moors from Spain, and who are we to disagree. One thing is certain - and that's a close association between Morris dancers and pubs over many years. So we practice in the winter, and then when the evenings are lighter in the summer, we can be found dancing outside pubs across central Cornwall. And just to make sure that others don't miss out, each year we pick out a couple of villages who haven't got a pub and descend on them as well (usually with adequate supplies of beer).
And not to forget - Trigg does consist of dancers of both male and female persuasions.
And a Beast ... Trigger
His origin is lost in the mists of time - but dendochronology aside , we know he once had a name "Hoddy Horse"
and a 1964 date inscribed on his wooden skeleton. So he may have danced with other sides (?)
You can't get the staff these days ...
Back in 1975 a group of Trigg chaps went to Stratford upon Avon and "danced in" to join the Morris Ring
(left to right) Peter Marlow , Christopher Penton, Roger Hancock, Mike Johnson, Alan Ramsden (in front, holding the Staff), Peter Cock, Pete Philp, Vic Legg (Our Squire at the time also holding the Staff) and Dave Williams.
They received a "Staff of Office" which is never used for dancing , but we show it off once a year

Above is a shot from the Movie "Bad Education" 2015 with us (and a lot of luvvie extras) in Mevagissey
The Annual Feast of St Hygenus
What is the Feast of St Hygenus? Not sure if Pope Saint Hyginus had anything to do with Trigg Morris, however, it has traditionally become an annual event to celebrate the Birthday of one of the Founder Members of Trigg Morris, namely Dr Christopher Penton. Although Chris Penton died many years ago, Trigg Morris still traditionally celebrates his birthday. The first Feasts were held at his flat, within the grounds of St Lawrence Hospital, and the later ones were at his house in Wenford Bridge, and it was several years before the team realised that we were attending his birthday party! Chris was born in 1911 and died in November 1987. The first Feast in its current format was held at Blisland (then called The Royal Oak) on the 11th January 1988. We have organised something nearly every year since and the venues : the Old Inn at St Breward, The Masons Arms and Blisland.
Who was Dr Penton? Dr Chris Penton worked up country and was offered a posting to the Psychiatric Hospital in Bodmin but wouldn't take it unless there was a Morris team nearby. Fortunately Trigg Morris had formed in February 1971 and Chris arrived at about the same time as Pete Philp in September 1971. Chris took over as Foreman from Phil Beamont who had taught Trigg from day one in February 1973 and held the post until 1982. He introduced the policy of only dancing 3 traditions max, concentraing on the individual styles of those traditions. He spoke 16 languages, four of them fluently, including Arabic and Russian. Situated at Berlin University, he returned to the UK in 1938 and during WW2 became an advisor to the British Army on Psychological Warfare!
What happens on the night? We start the evening with a session of dance, before retiring to the bar for an après Morris. A hat resembling a Turkish Fez is passed around and at this point anyone can take possession of the hat, place it upon their head, if they wish and do a party trick, whether singing, reciting, playing an instrument or anything else before passing it on. It is not a requirement that you have to do something but more of an opportunity to do so, if you are feeling brave. During the evening, we toast Dr Penton with a shot of Rum and Shrub, bought from funds. This does depend on it still being in production ....
In 2020 - the Feast had to be a virtual affair - Hats both real and imaginary were worn, and the tradition was upheld
In 2021 the Feast resumed - but in the well ventilated and lateral Flow tested circumstances of our practice hall
A last remnant of Shrub was passed round.
Mind you - if you are looking for odd Saints - In Switzerland there is the famous resort town of San Moritz
- named after Saint Morris - a Christian martyr
1972 trip to Cork
Willie Clancy and The Trigg Morris Side's Visit to Miltown Malbay, May 1972.
"I (Ian West) was the first musician of the Trigg Morris Men, a revival side formed in 1971 in central Cornwall, dancing traditional Cotswold Morris. If Cotswold Morris seems slightly odd for Central Cornwall, it was certainly so in remote County Clare at that time in the early seventies.
As an enthusiastic young Morris Side we were eager to show off our own music; but we were enormously enthusiastic worshippers at the alter of all traditional music. Visualize seven Morris dancers, a Morris musician plus two wives and a girlfriend in a Ford Transit minibus, travelling by ferry from Swansea to Cork. We were directed by Danny Linnehan (an Irish lad at the Bodmin Folk Club) to go to his native Knocknagree in the heart of 'Sliabh Luachra' as an excellent starting point for our pilgrimage in search of living traditional Irish music. Our 'Squire' at the time was Vic Legg (a fine traditional singer), and our 'Bagman' was Roger Hancock; both are still dancing with Trigg and have confirmed details of this trip. Vic recalls travelled up to County Clare from Knocknagree, crossing the Shannon by ferry to Kilrush, where we encountered the Horse Fair. ("Anything from a £50,000 race-horse to a £5 donkey" Vic remembers someone saying.) From there Vic recalls we made our way to “… Doolin where we met two of the three Russell brothers, Packie and Micko. (Gussie wasn't there.) Packie. played the concertina, and Micko. the whistle, or flute, or both. Sadly, none of them are alive today”. (Vic was deeply into the Irish traditional music scene, and knew where to go and who to meet.)
The encounter with Willie Clancy came the next day. I wrote some notes at the time which I transcribe verbatim for, though unpolished, they carry an immediacy. This was written on Wednesday the 31 May 1972 [with later ‘clarification’ in square brackets].
"Last night [Tuesday 30th May 1972] we hoped to join a ceilidh at Spanish Point, but found nothing happening at the Armada; nor at Quilty could we find anything. So we drove back into Miltown Malbay. We stopped on the way in and Vic [our 'squire'] asked some girls playing in the street if they could tell us the pub habituated by the great player of the Uilleann pipes -- Willie Clancy. They could not, but as we were by chance parked immediately outside his house they offered to call him out. Vic said "No, you cannot do that to a great man!"; then "--but, dammit, I would like to shake his hand." After 10 minutes Vic came out of the house and said that Willie Clancy would like to meet us all; so we [8 Morris men in full kit with bells and baldricks, plus 3 women] trooped into his small house. After we had chatted to his wife for a few minutes Willie came through; a tall, smiling, man with sandy hair, boyish face and a one-day beard. He wore carpenter's overalls complete with boxwood rule. We shook hands and engaged in conversation. Then he took up the long box containing his pipes, and said it was time for a glass of porter, and directed us [to go ahead of him up] to Lynch's Bar. Vic entered the dark bar and O'Fleary [can that be the right name?] came to greet him out of his kitchen beyond the bar, where he had been sitting by the stove. When we explained that Willie Clancy was coming round to play he took us all into his kitchen. [Willie and his wife arrived.] We bought a round of Guinness, chatted a while and Willie played a tune on a whistle. We went out onto the street and danced a few [Morris] dances, but it was very cold outside. So back into the kitchen. Some other friends of Willie's were gathering. A fellow (could it be Martin Talty?) produced a dark wooden flute with an ivory mouthpiece and practically no keys; and Willie and he played. Very, very, fine music. One could go on listening all night. But we got to singing songs and with our lasses we danced a Dorset four-hand reel across the kitchen. And Willie danced a solo jig, and Willie's foil -- old "Farmer" -- was persuaded to tell us a story. "At half past midnight, O'Fleary, who had been flitting about noiselessly smiling all evening, let us out one by one into the street from the dark bar. A very fine evening.”
Vic, Roger, and I have all added further recollections, albeit recalled some 34 years after the event. Vic remembers that, when the minibus stopped beside them in Miltown Malby, the two girls were playing a game with two balls bouncing against the house wall. They might still remember the occasion, as the Morris men were in full costume (for the anticipated ceilidh); and the occasion was only months before Willie Clancy’s untimely death. Roger recollects that the man referred to as “Farmer” was named Michael, and that Willie jokingly called him his ‘manager’. Old “Farmer” preceded his story by protesting that these English youngsters wouldn’t understand him. I found it hard going but I think I got the gist; one of those stories where you wake and find it was all a dream. I thought the landlord had seemed reluctant to open up the pub until told what had prompted us to knock him up, whereupon he sprang to. We soon had quite a throng in the back kitchen, though the pub had appeared shut for the evening. I concluded that someone had spread the word that Willie Clancy was going to play, which someone told me was a rare event by then. It seemed that the enthusiasm of our visiting Morris Side had proved sufficient to stimulate Willie into playing. Vic visualizes Lynch’s bar as having two counters to walk between; on one side a bar, and on the other groceries. He also recalls that upon entering the empty bar off the dark street it was lit by a single light, which was a brand new electric sign on the Guinness pump, connected to the ceiling rose by a long piece of flex. Roger recollects that, as the Trigg Men drove through Miltown Malbay the next day, they saw Willie Clancy and his wife in a throng of others dressed for church, (or possibly a funeral). " As recounted in 2006
