| Data | “Base” was played at an excursion to Coldham Hall, a grand country house, by workmen in the employ of Mr. Welton, a coach builder in Norwich, Norfolk. A newspaper mentioned that “After spending a most agreeable day at cricket, base, and other sports, they say down to a well-spread table furnished by Mr. Welton.” |

| Block Notes | “Base” was almost certainly baseball in this context, as it was a common alternate designation in East Anglia. |
