| Data | The game of “pie-ball” was among the entertainments enjoyed at a large picnic held on the grounds of Brancepeth Castle near the city of Durham by a combined group of teachers, friends and students of the U.P. Church Sabbath School and the Sunday Schools connected with the St. James Chapel, both of Newcastle, Northumberland. “The company amused themselves in rambling around the park, visiting the objects of interest in the grounds, and in various games. Cricket, football, pie-ball, and other games had their supporters, and were all carried out with unflagging till the close of day, when the company betook themselves to the train and safely arrived in Newcastle at half past ten.” |
