FH  = Farnicle Huggy: Interpretations of late 17th Century
     & early 18th Century English Country Dances (Andrew Shaw, 2006)

     Country Dances  (Andrew Shaw, 2002) 

Whimbleton House appears in a different version, where the original 5/2
A music has been "fixed" into 3/2, in [CDB-NS].  It also appears (I
understand from the CDS Boston Centre archives)

in [PP], but I haven't seen that yet.  I first did the version I called at
Pinewoods with Andrew Shaw calling; he attributed it to Pat Shaw.  

CDB-NS = Country Dance Book, New Series (Douglas and Helen Kennedy,
1929, 1980)

PP = Potter's Porch (Fried de Metz Herman, 1992)
