| Data | The term "bass-ball" appeared in a magazine column called "Railway Rambles" that was a regular feature of "The Penny Magazine." The article laments recent changes to the pretty, south Buckinghamshire village of Stoke (now called Stoke Poges): "There was a village green some twenty years ago—the prettiest of greens; but now there is a straight road between two hedgerows; and the cheerful spot where the noise of cricket and bass-ball once gladdened the ear on a summer eve is now silent." |
