Back to the Quarry

The Full English is a digital resource bringing together many of the major folk music collections in the United Kingdom and beyond. This selection from it contains all the material in it relating to Kimber and Headington Quarry. It includes relevant material from Cecil Sharp, Maud Karpeles and others in the English Folk Dance and Song Society, for example Sharp’s transcriptions of the Headington Quarry tunes, and correspondence with Kimber and other members of the team.

For ease of browing we have categorised the records in to tunes & songs, correspondence, and notes & articles. Please use the menu on the right to browse, or for a detailed search use the box at the top right of your screen or click on a tag link below.
