CORDWAINERS' MARCH, THE. AKA - "Cordwinders." AKA and see "Lord Balgownie's Favorite," "Gloomy Winter," "Reverend Mr. Patrick MacDonald of Kilmore." English, March. A march attached to a trade (like "Taylors' March (The)," the "Freemason's March" etc), in this case the Cordwainers, i.e. shoemakers (who used cord in their work). There was a Cordwainers Hall in London. The title is unique to Glasgow publisher James Aird's 1782 volume, but is to be found under a variety of other names.
