Hervey, Dudley, Mrs.
Mrs. Dudley Hervey was the headmistress of the Belstead House School in Aldeburgh, England, where the English Folk Dance Society school was held beginning in 1922.
Hervey kept a scrapbook relating to the musicologist Cecil Sharp, founder of the English Folk Dance Society, which initiated the teaching of folk song and dance in schools in the early 1900s. Sharp is credited with collecting and reviving traditional folk songs and dances from the English countryside and reinstating them into the cultural life of the nation.
