Gypsy parties
Baildon was an important location for the British Gypsy community. A report from 1929 stated that annual "Gypsy Parties" had started two to three hundred years before - records were said to go back to 1770 when it was reported to be an ancient custom. In 1881, up to 5,000 people are said to have paid for admission. The event was taken over by local residents, who dressed as gypsies and formed 'tribes'. Proceeds went to the local Horticultural Society. After 1897 the tradition died out, because the 'real gypsies' had disappeared. It was revived in 1929 to raise funds for Baildon Hospital. A local resident, John Keen, contacted the "King of the GypsiesKing of the Gypsies
