Post-Submission Material

Craig Fees, “Christmas Mumming in a North Cotswold Town: With Special Reference to Tourism, Urbanisation and Immigration-Related Social Change“, PhD., Institute of Dialect and Folklife Studies, School of English, University of Leeds, England (1988). 

 

The following material arrived or was made available to me following the submission of the original dissertation to the University of Leeds.


Appendix I: "The Merrimix Mumming Play", which was performed at the TocH Tramps evening and Scuttlebrook Wake in 1964 (as referred to in V.1B, pp. 403-404), is presented here with the kind permission of its author, Seumas Stewart of Chipping Campden, with whom all rights remain.


Appendix J: This is an excerpt from a letter dated 30 June 1988 from Campden native Don Ellis (b. 1902), following his receipt of several chapters ( Sections II-III) of the dissertation. It is a significant reminiscence, requiring substantial rewriting within the dissertation itself and considerable re-thinking on the Involvements of Harry Keeley and George Greenall (for example) as discussed in II.3, and the re-assessment of various other reminiscences, such as those discussed in III.1B. It does not, however, affect the arguments put forward in Section III concerning the Guild of Handicraft and the mumming, except, perhaps, to strengthen them.
