ABOUT US

Ditchling Morris has a past filled with achievements, historical moments, and key points in time that have not only shaped the side, but Morris Dancing as a whole across the world. The animated timeline below shows some of the crucial moments in Ditchling Morris and our prestigious awards, but first, we must go back 1100 years and ask... why a Wyvern?

849 - 26th October, 899

King Alfred, King of the West Saxons, King of the Anglo-Saxons, and Ruler of Wessex, owned Ditchling Manor. Upon his Royal Standard, a Wyvern was depicted, which over a millennia later became our logo.
