Whitethorn Morris at Letchmore Heath
The Three Horseshoes is an attractive pub facing the village green and the war memorial at Letchmore Heath, a beautiful place between Elstree and Aldenham just outside Watford. This pub regularly attracts morris dancers and one of the local morris sides is Whitethorn Morris who often perform both there and in the village hall. The dancers, plus the Whitethorn Band, form up in the narrow road between the pub and the green and as soon as the music strikes up a crowd of villagers and pub goers forms around us to watch the display. The landlord is delighted to have a crowd, the residents are delighted with entertainment and the musicians and dancers enjoy a glorious outing to an attractive village. Sometimes we choose this venue for our traditional Boxing Day dancing and we have been known to borrow the landlord's broom to clear enough snow to make a space safe for dancing! More usually we dance there on a warm summer's evening and enjoy our beer while making music and dancing. Last edited: 28/03/2008 23:43 by John Howard Norfolk |
