Swing your hankies the Morris Dancers are in town
Head to Market Place tomorrow evening (Weds 5th June) in the centre of Henley for the quintessentially English spectacle of Morris dancing from 8.00-9.30pm. Stop by, have a jig or two and maybe even a flagon of beer from one of Henley’s Market Place hostelries.
The Taeppa’s Tump North-West Morris team (based in Maidenhead) are looking forward to dancing with guests, Borderline Morris.
There will be a glorious display of colourful types of Morris dancing!
Tæppa’s Tump is a Ladies North West Morris side which was formed in 1981.
Their name is taken from one of the area’s outstanding archaeological sites, the burial mound of “Tæppa” a Saxon chieftain who gave his name to Taplow, which is now a very pleasant village on the outskirts of Maidenhead. The burial mound was first excavated in 1883 and yielded a collection of Saxon grave goods, which are now in the British Museum and are second only to the Sutton Hoo Burial Hoard.
