Cuckolds All A Row – mp3

I think we’re on strong ground to reckon The Music is the waits – playing Cuckolds all arow. James [Dr James Merryweather].

Cuckold’s Point.   Also known as Cuckold’s Haven; on the Surrey bank of the Thames at the n. end of Limehouse Reach; said to derive its name from the story of a miller of Charlton, Kent, who was cuckolded there by King John.
