Hi John,
Yes, that's great information!
I too had a look on the FARNE site but my brief search didn't come up
with the items you found.
I followed the link provided by Tim to the sound file of George
Atkinson playing it. A very good item. He begins with Whinhams
'Remember Me', a tune that has such similarities with the Barrington
that at first I was confused and took it as a variant of the Barrington.

To quote p. 85 of THE CLOUGH FAMILY book: "Thomas Todd, an almost
exact contemporary of Tom Clough (II), and teacher of Tom Clough
(III), who is mostly remembered for composing "The Barrington
Hornpipe." It is said that this latter was deliberately written to
utilise all of the keys of the 7-key chanter."
