MORRIS DANCE IN CORNWALL- early days
During the Twelve Days of Christmas between 1466-67, the household accounts of the Arundells of Lanherne, Mawgan-in-Pydar, record expenditures to buy white bonnets for minstrels, cloth and bells for Morris Dancers, as well as materials for costumes for the "disgysing" (mummers or guise dancers), an activity which involved music and dancing.
This can't have been Trigg, even though we have a long tradition of collecting money in Cornwall.
And then there is St Nonna's Church in Altarnun , who decorated one of their pews about 1520
I hope Trigg's current dancing is less wooden
