Merry Christmas from us all at Barnsley Museums.
We're so humbled by the response to finding a carol which had been lost for 90 years.
There's a recap to #ChristmasEve by Arthur Godfrey and various versions of the song in the thread below 👇

Happy #ChristmasEve from us all at Barnsley Museums! 🎄🎅☃️✨ The Barnsley Carol (Christmas Eve) was written in 1933 by Arthur Godfrey, but was lost for 90 years until it was rediscovered in @BarnsArchives last year. This year we worked with @BcepFusion to make a music video 👇
