Product Description
This is a modern folk song based on the true story of John Hewett and Sarah Drew, who died in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire, a week before they were due to be married, on 31st July 1718.
It was written as a tribute to John and Sarah, on 31st July 2018: the 300th anniversary of their death.
For the lyrics I have taken liberties with the story (I kept them alive!) and I have borrowed from the epitaph written by the poet Alexander Pope, who was staying in the village at the time and was very moved by the incident.

I have taught this myself to my community choir and they've really enjoyed singing it - I hope you do too!
