| Data | “Pie's Ball” was identified as on of the amusements enjoyed by adults and children at a fundraising garden party hosted by the sewing circle of the United Methodist Free Church of Barnsley, South Yorkshire. After tea, a number of attendees took part in games of cricket and Aunt Sally while, according to a newspaper report, “in other parts of the grounds such games as 'Jolly Miller,' 'Pie's Ball,' and 'Tease 'em' were extensively indulged in, whilst a mixed, though select, company were observed to be wandering about in a state of unsettled rest. Eventually they retired to an obscure place, and commenced a game known as 'Kiss in the Ring.' Although this was not largely or popularly attended, many seemed to be anxiously looking in the direction in which the game was practised, and yet had not the courage of their convictions.” |
