text:
Sam Bennett (1865–1951) was an English Morris dancer, fiddler and traditional singer from Ilmington, Warwickshire. He was visited by Cecil Sharp in 1909. Sharp studied the dances of Bennett's Morris dancing troupe, but was critical of some "new" elements of the dances, noting that the older dancers in the village performed one particular dance "exactly as Kimber dances it". He noted down some of Sam's songs including "Thorney Moor Woods" and "Admiral Benbow". Bennett collaborated with Mary Neal
