{{main|Goathland Plough Stots}}
In the village of [[Goathland]] in North Yorkshire, Plough Monday was traditionally celebrated with a plough procession, mummers' play, and sword dancing.  In 1913 [[Cecil Sharp]] visited Goathland but was unable to find anyone who remembered the sword dance, last performed around 1868. Inspired by Sharp's work, the dance was revived for Plough Monday in 1923. Since the revival the sword dance has become the main feature of the tradition, and continues to be performed on the Saturday following Plough Monday.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Schofield|first=Derek|title=The English Long Sword Dance: A Comparison Between Two Contemporary Traditional Teams|year=1991|journal=Studia Musicologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae|volume=33|issue=1|jstor=902454|pages=321–322}}</ref> Money collected by the sword dancers at Goathland was originally used to buy food and drink for the "finish-up feast" at the end of the celebration; more recently it has been donated to the local hospital and lifeboat station.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ridden |first1=Geoffrey |title=The Goathland Plough Monday Customs |journal=Folk Music Journal |date=1974 |volume=2 |issue=5 |page=358 |publisher=English Folk Dance and Song Society |location=London |issn=0531-9684}}</ref>
