The Morris Dance has been part of English life for at least six hundred years, and may be much older. The earliest records date from the Court Masques of Henry VII in the 1500s. From there it spread into popular entertainment; first in large houses and then to village celebrations where it became associated with Church Ales and other seasonal festivities.
The Minster Strays were formed in 2003 as a mixed side, based amidst the Howardian Hills between York and Pickering. Wearing green, burgundy and gold waistcoats, and colourful tatters, they perform the dances of Old England as well as their own unique creations in traditional style.
