"Old Tom of Oxford" is an English morris dance tune in 4/4 time and G Major. The parts are played ABCBCB. It was collected from the village of Bampton, Oxfordshire, in England's Cotswolds. 'Old Tom' is the name of a famous bell in Christ Church College, Oxford, which hangs in Tom Tower (designed by Christopher Wren). Old Tom, or Great Tom, dates from the sixteenth century and is still sounded each night 101 times, to signify the 100 original scholars of the college (plus one, added in 1663). It is the loudest bell in Oxford and weighs six and a quarter tons. A 'D' minor version of the tune under the title "Old Oxford" appears in Daniel Wright's Extraordinary Collection of Pleasant and Merry Humours etc. (c. 1713), and as "Peace and Plenty: or, Old Oxford", in John Young's Second Volume of the Dancing Master (1719). It was printed in Bacon's The Morris Ring (1974) and Mallinson's Mally's Cotswold Morris Book (1988). It was recorded by Francis Shergold on Greeny Up (1988).
