BARTLE-BURNING -- rec by PK, West Witton, Yorkshire, 1959 incl talk with Alan HARKER & Jim WARD: RPL 26583/ 16mm Film (mono) by PK (same date) - FTX-451 Dialect - Hi Peter, many thanks for the wonderful CD, what a fascinating collection of oral folk history. I have been researching West Witton's history for over almost 25 yrs now. As an incomer, from Shetland, I decided early on that if I wasn't a 'local' I would certainly know more about the village and it's history than so called locals! We now have a small village history group and are continuing the search for anything and everything re West Witton! Re Bartle, yes the Harkers are still involved with the annual celebration, Alan sadly died last year, his brother Edward died a few years ago - he was a real character! there are two remaining Harker brothers from that generation and a host of Harker 'lads' to folow, the youngest Harker boy in the village is 3years old so the family continues. I am currently reseaching the origins of the ceremony and it is proving to be quite a mystery, I was very interested to hear Jim (Fudge)Ward saying on your CD that ther had been another line to the doggerel which had been dropped - fascinating! There are so may variations on the story & it's origins I doubt I'll ever discover the true story - but it's fun searching for clues! regards Lizkirby@hotmail.com 07/05/05
