Lionel Bacon records [[Cotswold]] Morris traditions from these towns and villages:
[[Abingdon, England|Abingdon]], [[Adderbury]], [[Ascott-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire|Ascot-under-Wychwood]], [[Badby, Northamptonshire|Badby]], [[Bampton, Oxfordshire|Bampton]], Bidford, [[Bledington]], [[Brackley, Northamptonshire|Brackley]], [[Bucknell, Oxfordshire|Bucknell]], [[Chipping Campden]], [[Ducklington]], [[Eynsham]], [[Headington Quarry]], [[Hinton-in-the-Hedges, Northamptonshire|Hinton-in-the-Hedges]], [[Ilmington]], [[Kirtlington]], [[Leafield]] (Field Town), [[Longborough]], [[Oddington, Gloucestershire|Oddington]], Sherbourne, [[Stanton Harcourt]], [[Upton-upon-Severn]] and [[Wheatley, Oxfordshire|Wheatley]].<ref name="bacon">Bacon, Lionel 1974 ''A Handbook of Morris Dances''. Published by The Morris Ring</ref>

Bacon also lists the tradition from Lichfield, which is Cotswold-like despite that city's distance from the Cotswold Morris area; the authenticity of this tradition has been questioned.{{by whom|date=May 2017}} In 2006, a small number of dances from a previously unknown tradition was discovered by Barry Care, [[Order of the British Empire|MBE]], keeper of The Morris Ring Photographic Archive,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://themorrisring.org/publications/morris-tradition|title=The Morris Tradition {{!}} The Morris Ring|website=themorrisring.org|access-date=2019-04-08}}</ref> and a founding member of Moulton Morris Men ([[Ravensthorpe, Northamptonshire]])—two of them danceable.{{citation needed|date=May 2017}}

Other dances listed by Bacon include Border Morris dances from [[Brimfield, Herefordshire|Brimfield]], [[Bromsberrow Heath]], [[Evesham, Worcestershire|Evesham]], [[Leominster]], [[Much Wenlock]], [[Pershore]], Upton-upon-Severn, [[Upton Snodsbury]], [[White Ladies Aston]], and miscellaneous non-Cotswold, non-Border dances from [[Steeple Claydon]] and [[Winster]]. There are a number of traditions which have been collected since the mid-twentieth century, though few have been widely adopted. Examples are Broadwood, Duns Tew,<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/morris/trads/DunsTew.html| title=The Duns Tew Morris 'Tradition'}}</ref> and Ousington-under-Wash in the Cotswold style, and Upper and Lower Penn in the Border style. In fact, for many of the "collected" traditions in Bacon, only sketchy information is available about the way they were danced in the nineteenth century, and they have been reconstructed to a degree that makes them largely twentieth-century inventions as well. Some traditions have been reconstructed in several strikingly disparate ways; an example would be Adderbury, danced very differently by the Adderbury Morris Men and the Adderbury Village Morris.
