Read the rest of this article on a Joseph Taylor web page but note that these is a factual error on the site.

The linked article is interesting, but is, unfortunately, inaccurate, since it refers to Percy Grainger visiting Lincolnshire in 1905 with Lucy Broadwood. In fact she did not attend the first Folk Song competition there in that year, but actually attended the second one the following year, and carried out a joint collecting trip with Grainger at that time , 1906.
