Royal May Queen on Saturday 5th May 2001. Hundreds of children took
part in the procession through the town and up to Knutsford Heath.
Morris Dancers, Clowns, Highwayman Higgins, some Cranford Ladies

May
Day Poem
'Round the maypole - round
and round
Men and maids and children bound
Show'ring as they halt between
Honours on their May Day Queen.'
May
Day Poem
Spring, the sweet spring,
Is the year's pleasant king,
Then blooms each thing,
Then maids dance in a ring.'
