Can any of you solve a memory lapse?
When I was in my teens in the 70s, there was a programme on TV that had "There'll Always Be An England" as the closing theme song.
It always used to make me cry for some reason ..... and I'm Welsh! :-D

Anyone know what it was?

An old traditional English song that was used for the theme song for the Series SHARPE starring Sean Bean

OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY

Now to stop myself from singing "Intercity big blue train, away from it all and home again"! :-D :-D :-D

ooooooo I don't believe it!

I have found a song for my Maternal Grandmother's Ancestral Roots ....
It appears to have been a TV programme:-D

THE SCARE CROW OF ROMNEY MARSH(1963)

MusicScarecrow! Scarecrow!
The soldiers of the King feared his name — Scarecrow!
On the southern coast of England
There’s a legend people tell
Of days long ago when the great Scarecrow
Would ride from the jaws of Hell
And laugh (Ahhh! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Haaa!) with a fiendish yell!

With his clothes all torn and tattered
Through the black of night he’d ride,
From the marsh to the coast,
Like a demon ghost
He’d show his face then hide
(He’d rob the rich then hide),
And he’d laugh (Ahhh! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Haaa!)
’Til he split his side!

Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!)
The soldiers of the King feared his name
Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!)
The country folk all loved him just the same —
Scarecrow!

He would always help the farmer,
When there was no gold to bring,
He’d find a way for the poor to pay
The taxes of the King
“Scarecrow!” — every man would sing!
(With gold from a smuggler’s ring!)

So the King told all his soldiers:
“Hang him high or hang him low,
But never return ’til the day I learn
He’s gone in flames below
(He rides in flames below),
Or you’ll hang — with the great Scarecrow! “
Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!)

The soldiers of the King feared his name.
Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!)
The country folk all loved him just the same.
Scarecrow! Scarecrow! Scarecrow!Music
(Ahhh! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha-haaa!)


The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh aka Dr Syn Alias The Scarecrow.
I learned about this character on my FH holiday there last September :-D :-D :-D

Who remembers this wartime drama of the early 1970s?

FAMILY AT WAR

The memorable theme tune is from the First Movement (Allegro) of Vaughan Williams's Sixth Symphony.

The series examined the lives of the lower middle-class Ashton family of the city of Liverpool and their experiences from 1938 and through the Second World War.

I loved this drama. I wish they would re-run it! :-)

Having been involved in ringing for St George's Day today, I offer the following song about a bellringing competition between two Devon Villages.
