Thanks Diddy, that's very interesting. Does it say where the 1909 "annual gathering" was held, and what society was being referred to?

sorry should have said :

Rutland Archaelogical & Natural History Society AGM, committee rooms, Oakham.

there are lots of other articles covering his death / other lectures etc in other parts of the Country. please PM me if you would like anything else.

I know as a music student myself that he toured the country looking for new folksongs

Thanks for the information Diddy,
My particular focus is folk songs in Lincolnshire. I am looking at all those who have collected/researched the subject or collected songs in the county. I'm still hoping to find what actually brought Cecil Sharp to Bourne, his only recorded visit to Lincolnshire, on the 25th April 1911.
