The Buckland What?
They strike up the Devils Dance withall: then martch this heathen company towards the church and churchyards, their pypers pyping, the drummers thundering, their stumpes dancing, their belles jyngling, their handkercheefes fluttering about their heads like madde men. (Philip Stubbes, Anatomie of Abuses 1583)

The Buckland Shag Morris Men is a Cotswold morris side based in the Reigate area of Surrey. The name is taken from a local tradition of a monstrous horse which was said to inhabit the Shag Brook. The side appears at pubs in the area throughout the summer, and practices at Leigh Village Hall from September to May.

The site is still a bit of a work in progress, so please excuse the odd broken link - and come back to see how we are progressing!
