Singers may be interested in a BBC Radio 4 programme which was broadcast on 14th March 2019, The Turtle Dove Pilgrimage. This is described as "A pilgrimage across Sussex tracing the origins of the iconic song The Turtle Dove." This song is being taught at the current Belloc, Broadwood and Beyond Song Workshops and it was also introduced at the most recent Worthing session.
It can be heard on the BBC website here (not sure how long this will be available), where you will also find links to further programme information. You may also be interested in the following links which are associated with the programme:

Welcome to our website for singers who want to learn and sing traditional and new South Downs folk songs, sung in the traditional way. "Put another barrel on, landlord, and pull a pint for me! The ale here in Sussex is the best we all agree!"
