First paragraph says:

The tradition of rapper sword dancing developed on the coalfields of north-east England as early as the 18th Century. While dance troops continue to entertain audiences across the world, it is believed 81-year-old Frank Lee, from Cumbria, is now the last maker of the swords so integral to the dance.
