| Biography | There arent many traditional dance teams that can attest to an unbroken history of some 300 years, the Chipping Campden Morris Men claim to be one of just a handful. Theyre based in the North Cotswold town of the same name which has a long agricultural history and in particular; the wool trade
The Chipping Campden Morris Dancers have long been a part of their community and the earliest records refer to a side existing in Campden in the 1700s. They are one of only four traditional Cotswold sides that exist today who have an unbroken history.
The Campden side dances a unique tradition that can be found no where else, and the dances and steps form part of a living tradition which is passed on from one generation to the next. No other Morris sides dance Campden and this is something which is respected throughout the Morris community. |
