En 1920, Mme Ella Mary Leather et Ralph Vaughan Williams publient conjointement "Twelve Traditional Carols from Herefordshire"

Vaughan Williams a composé deux arrangements pour chaque chant : d’abord, pour chœur sans accompagnement (SATB); et ensuite, pour voix et piano.

Les versions chorales sont enregistrées pour la première fois en 2024, couplées aux versions alternatives pour voix et piano, enregistrées en 2011.
