Not a corner dance

Lock danced steps as above, crossing to partners place and side stepping back.

Both steps quite normal.

He indicated capers in repetition very particular that first cross over began with right foot and second home with left foot, because "if you settle on one foot you can't start again on him".

This is all the information for Minster Lovell there is no idea as to common figures but it can be joined with Finstock, North Leigh and Ducklington. There are serveral traditions that have galley and caper e.g. North Leigh, Minster Lovell, Ducklington, Finstock possible. I could be argued that there is a generic Wychwood tradition.

Other dances that Daniel Lock remembered were Constant Billy, "This is probably an Old woman Tossed Up" and Princess Royal, Old Mother Oxford, Jockey to the Fair and Lumps of Plum Pudding.

In Bacon under Field Town the A music is taken from the Sherborne tune no A in MSS.

Roy Dommett gives sequence as FU,DF,HG,DF,BB,DF,HR,DF and DF as 2 bars double step,galley right,ftj,2 bars ,galley right,ftj,4bars sidestep,galley left,ftj.

Cross turn dance in place cross back and turn - with jumps instead of capers in MSS.

One the basis of the most difficult reading the chorus should be eight bars to cross galleying half way, in a line, rest of cross over galley and then side step or capers to place and galley.
