What county in England did a brewess that has a song and jig tune bearing her name live in?
Elsie Marley Elsie Marley (c. 1713–1768) was an alewife (the wife of the landlord, or the licensee of an inn or public house) in Picktree, near Chester-le-Street, County Durham, England. This is close to Harraton Hall, the home of the Lambton family. A song and jig tune bearing her name, popular in her lifetime, are still current locally.
Walter Pardon Walter Pardon (4 March 1914 – 9 June 1996) was an English carpenter and folk singer from Knapton, Norfolk, England. He learned songs and tunes from older members of his family and remembered and performed them at a time when most people of his generation were uninterested in traditional music. He was then able to pass his songs and tunes on to a new generation of folk music collectors and performers.
