Nowell: the Bory's Hede
(The Exeter Boar's Head Carol)
Wassail track 17
This was taken from the then recently-published New Oxford Book of Carols.
Attributed to Richard Smert, rector of Plymtree in Devon from 1435 to 1477, this was one of a number of Smert's carols to be included in the "Ritson Manuscript", now held by the British Library.
