TRIP TO MAIDENHEAD. English, Jig (6/8 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody is unique to London publishers Charles and Samuel Thompson’s first country dance collection (1757). Maidenhead, Berkshire, is situated on the Thames River, on the road between London and Bath. A bridge spanning the river was built there in 1255, with a wharf alongside it for river traffic. This New Wharf, or ‘Maiden Hythe’, gives the town its name (which was changed to the present spelling in 1724). In the Thompson’s time, Maidenhead was a day’s journey from London.
