As we finish our exhibition at Walford Mill, Wimborne, Dorset, it seems apt to share Aimee’s version of the traditional Dorset “Sheep Shearing Song”. This version was collected in April 1906 from a William Miller in Wooton Fitzpaine Dorset by HED Hammond. Roud no 812.

We used the song for Stewart Easton and the Awesome Youth Group’s interactive illustration, where you were able to touch the drawing and hear lines from the song.
