| Data | “Base ball” was one of the activities provided for children attending one of several Wesleyan Society Sunday Schools at an annual treat that was held in a park in the Berkshire village of Donnington. The schools represented societies from four villages surrounding the market town of Newbury: Chievley, Stockcross, Thatcham, and World's-end. A newspaper reported that “the children dispersed about the park, a marked rush being made upon the refreshment tent where ginger beer, ginger ale, lemonade, sweets, buscuits, &c., were dispensed, the more hardy ones however entering at once into cricket, swinging, base ball, and other games which had been provided.” |
