“Adderbury Morris Men will have celebrated their revival by the time you read these notes by holding the day of dancing around the village on Saturday, April 26th, beginning at 10 o'clock in the morning outside the Old Wheatsheaf. This spot was chosen because the last "squire" of the side, William "Binks" Walton kept the premises when it was a public house. The last time Adderbury Morris Men danced was around 1880, but the dances were not noted down until the 1^st World War when Miss Janet Blunt, whom older residents may remember, secured them from Mr Walton. She in turn, notified Cecil Sharp, a prominent folk song and dance collector, who also made an effort to collect some of the dances from him.
The modern revival of the Morris side began last year and contains many Adderbury men and the remainder come mainly from within a three mile radius. All the dances that you see the Adderbury Morris Men do, twenty-two in all, come from the village and are danced by Morris sides all over the country. So come on you Adderbury folk, turn out and watch the side whenever they are dancing, and prove that Adderbury really is an important name in the Morris Dance world.”
