WITTLE DEAN. AKA - "Whittle Dean." English, Hornpipe (whole or part time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The hornpipe is a member of the family of hornpipes that includes “Friendly Visit (The)”. See also the related first strain of “Walsh's Hornpipe.”
Whittle Dean was, according to MacKenzie in 1825[1], "a deep woody dell which stretches southwards and joins the Tyne east of Ovington. The waters of this dean (peculiarly soft and clear) are the most celebrated in the north of England for whitening linen cloth.” Located west of Newcastle, Northumberland, water reservoirs were constructed at Whittle Dean in the mid-19th century to supply Newcastle and Gateshead with water. Whittle Dene is locally held to be a favorite haunt of the fairy folk.
