 +Walsh's New Country Dancing Master 1710\\

 +<code> 
 +Al 1-4 Ist couple whole figure 8 down through 2nd couple (12 steps).
 +   5—8 2nd couple whole figure 8 up through 1st couple (12 steps).
 +A2 1-4 lst couple lead down through 2nd couple, cast up to original places
 +       and turn single away (Man-left and Woman-right) (12 steps).
 +   5-8 2nd couple lead up through Ist couple, cast down to original places
 +       and turn single away (Man-right and Woman-left) (12 steps).

 +Bl 1  1st corners cross (3 steps).
 +   2  2nd comers cross, starting with left foot (3 steps).
 +   3  All set forward on right foot to centre (3 steps).
 +   4  All turn single left to place (3 steps).

 +Suggested adaptation: Nicolas Broadbridge 1994\\
 +<code> 
 +Al 1-8 Double whole figure 8, 1st couple casting to start.
 +       This gives 24 steps for each couple's whole figure and will be very
 +       leisurely.
 +B2 1-4 Double half figure 8, 2nd couple casting to start.
 +       However, this may be better lot as 2 single half figures.</code> 
 +
 +Note:\\
 +B1 5-8n Circle suggested by Pat Shaw instead of original 4 changes of a square
 +hey with hands in both B1 5-8 and B2 5-8. (see above)

 Hombey House, near Northhampton, and was famous as the place where King Charles I took refuge at the end of the English Civil War. The melody was probably composed by Henry Purcell, as it appears in his opera The Indian Queen as an untitled hornpipe.  Hombey House, near Northhampton, and was famous as the place where King Charles I took refuge at the end of the English Civil War.
