FOUNDED in 1911 on the initiative of Conrad Noël, Vicar of Thaxted, as part of the reawakening of interest in Morris dancing begun by Cecil Sharp and others, Thaxted Morris is the oldest revival side in the country. One of the first public performances was for the local celebrations of the coronation of King George V. The 1920s saw meetings being organised between some of the Revival clubs. Thaxted were hosts in 1927 and, except for the war years, there has been a meeting every year since, the only club in the country so to do. This year will mark our 75th meeting and the 61st documented dancing of the Horn Dance.
