LAMBETH WELLS. English, Country Dance Air (cut time). G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody was printed by Henry Playford in the Dancing Master Part Two (2nd edition) of 1698. The name Lambeth is an Anglo-Saxon name derived from the word 'hythe' and used for a place where lambs were shipped across a river; over time 'lamb hythe' was reshaped by local tongues into Lambeth. Lambeth Wells was a fashionable spot south-west of London where concerts were occasionally given in past centuries.
