Although Cheshire cannot be described as a musical county, yet it has
no reason to be ashamed of its past musical history.
“Cheshire Rounds” was a celebrated tune and dance--sometimes danced by
a couple (whose gyrations resembled the movements of the sun and moon)
and sometimes by a single person. The only known portrait of Doggett
(who founded the celebrated waterman’s badge) shows him dancing the
“Cheshire Round.”
