===Revival===
[[Boxing Day]] 1899 is widely regarded as the starting point for the Morris revival.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Burgess |first=Paul |date=2002 |title=The Mystery of the Whistling Sewermen: How Cecil Sharp Discovered Gloucestershire Morris Dancing |journal=Folk Music Journal |volume=8 |issue=2 |pages=178–194 |jstor=4522669}}</ref> Cecil Sharp was visiting at a friend's house in [[Headington]], near Oxford, when the Headington Quarry Morris side arrived to perform. Sharp was intrigued by the music and collected several tunes from the side's musician, [[William Kimber]], including [[Country Gardens]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Country Gardens (Cecil Sharp Manuscript Collection (at Clare College, Cambridge) CJS2/10/946)|url=https://www.vwml.org/record/CJS2/10/946|access-date=2020-11-17|website=The Vaughan Williams Memorial Library|language=en-gb}}</ref> A decade later he began collecting the dances, spurred and at first assisted by [[Mary Neal]], a founder of the [[Espérance Club]] (a dressmaking co-operative and club for young working women in London), and Herbert MacIlwaine, musical director of the Espérance Club. Neal was looking for dances for her girls to perform, and so the first revival performance was by young women in London.
