English folklore could be considered a brief look at the not well known mythology of the Anglo-Saxons , though it also has Welsh influences, perhaps evidence of a predominantly non-hostile Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain or it could be because of the Norman's replacement of a great deal of English legends with Britonic ones. Morris Dance and related practices such as the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance preserve old English folk traditions, as do Mummers Play s. Pub Names may preserve folk traditions. Most folklore traditions are no longer widely believed. Whereas some traditions were once believed across the whole of England, most belong to specific regions: FOLKLORE OF ENGLAND
