Well, I could mention my own work on the Pattricke/Lovelace/Church manuscript
(a handwritten chapbook from perhaps 1649 containing both new and familiar yet
different English Country Dances), viewable at http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~white/dlovelace.html.

There are (so far) three totally new ECD dances from it that we have music for -
Lightly Love, a kidnapping progressive dance; Milking Pail, a standard 3 (or 4) couple
ECD with many heys; and Road to Westminster, a 4-couple standard ECD with lots of
setting and even some turning.
