"Carpenter's Maggot" is an English jig in 6/4 time and D Major. The parts are played AB.
The melody and dance directions appear in London publisher Henry Playford's Dancing Master,
11th edition (1701) and was retained in the Dancing Master series through the 18th
and last edition of 1728 (then published by John Young). It was also published by John Young
in the several editions of The Compleat Country Dancing Master beginning in 1718.
London musician Thomas Hammersley entered it into his 1790 music manuscript collection.
It was printed in Walsh's Complete Country Dancing-Master, Volume the Fourth (1740) and
Barlow's The Complete Country Dances from Playford's Dancing Master (1985).
