The practice seems to have come to an end in the early 20th century, when it was forbidden by a police inspector as a form of begging.

CENTRE FOR RESEARCH IN MEDIA AND CULTURAL STUDIES Performing Englishness in New English Folk Music and Dance Research Project Closing Report Dr. Trish Winter: Principal Investigator Dr Simon Keegan-Phipps: Project Researcher 19th January 2010 Funded by: [Grant number AH/E009867/1] Abstract Over the last ten years there has been a resurgence of interest in the English folk arts: new artists are exploring their English heritage of tunes, songs and dances, and established artists are finding new audiences; and folk festivals in England are experiencing great popularity. Whilst grass roots involvement in folk flourishes, a developing folk industry is also playing a central role. The research project has looked at the significance of this newly invigorated interest in English traditions as well as focussing on the kinds of English identities being forged and their politics. The project has had three main objectives. Firstly, it has examined the characteristics of this wave of English folk. Secondly it has looked in detail at the particular kinds of ‘Englishness’ that are being circulated when people ‘do’ English folk, whether as participants, performers, audiences or promoters. Thirdly it has examined why this wave of interest is happening now, and how it might relate to wider shifts in national identity.
