Data

“Base ball” was among the games enjoyed on a Good Friday outing by 200 boys and girls of the Lower Meeting House schools of Amersham, a town in the Chiltern Hills area of Buckinghamshire. A newspaper reported that “after tea, they adjourned to a meadow close by, where base ball, drop glove, and other innocent amusements were freely entered into, not only by the young but by those advanced in years.”
