“Baseball” was named in a newspaper article as one of the games played in Petersham Park, located in the town of Richmond, Greater London.This observation was made because the park was the destination of a day-long excursion by boy and girl students of the Hendon Congregational Sunday School of Hendon, a northwest suburb of London: “Petersham Park is a portion of Richmond Park, and is admirably adapted for a school excursion. It contains some very fine old trees. It is level on the Petersham side, and here boat-swings, cricket, baseball, skipping, etc. can be indulged in.”
