We are Stone the Crows Border Morris. We are based in Leyland, Lancashire. Border Morris is a dance tradition which traces its origins to the English / Welsh border counties of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire. See our About page for more info.
Many of the dances we perform are traditional and come from towns / villages such as Upton-upon-Severn and Much Wenlock. We’ve also created some of our own dances and we share / exchange dances with other Border Morris teams.
