In December 2022 and January 2023 musician Nicky Stockman visited Tilney All Saints Primary School for a number of visits to teach the song “Green Bushes”, collected from village sexton John Whitby in their village. Pupils from Years 4-6 also learnt 2 molly dances, set to 2 tunes collected in the Tilney villages, Ladies Triumph and the tune of Maria Marten.

For more information on the original singers and musicians please see our pages on the Tilney villages.
