Marson kept in touch with Cecil Sharp in London and in 1893 officiated at Sharp's wedding. Then in 1903, Marson invited Sharp to stay at Hambridge vicarage and, after the noting of the folk song ‘The Seeds of Love’, introduced Sharp to a number of local singers. The two men loved the 'new music' and collaborated on the first three volumes of Folk Songs from Somerset, Marson editing the words and Sharp doing the musical arrangements. However, Sharp switched his attention to the morris dance and the two men fell out. As a result, Marson’s contribution to the first folk revival has been underestimated.
