"Base-ball" was among the games played at the Silverhill Presbyterian Sunday School treat at a farm outside Silverhill (near Hastings), East Sussex: "Of course the usual games incidental to such affairs were indulged in by most of the little folks. Some were swinging under the trees, others playing base-ball, kiss-in-the-ring, and tag, whilst a few wandered down to the ponds and watched the fish disporting in the waters, or strolled about the farm buildings...The elder boys and many of the male teachers played matches of cricket, and indulged in other manly games."
