MISS RICHARDS’ HORNPIPE. English, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. From the early 19th century Hardy family manuscripts, Dorset. Barry Callaghan (2007) identifies Miss Richards as a “famous Sadlers Wells acrobat and dancer (who) performed in Dorchester in 1786.” She is recorded as having performed feats of "Ground and Lofty Tumbling" in a show called "Exhibitions of Sadlers Wells" presented by Andrews company at Coopers' Hall, Bristol, March, 1782. Elizabeth Rebecca Richards (1775–1854) married actor John Edwin in 1791 and continued a long and successful career as Mrs. Edwin (long surviving her husband, who died in Dublin in 1805). A sketch of her can be found in the Dictionary of National Biography, 1885–1900, Volume 17, by John Joseph Knight [1].
