The Ancient National Game of Stoolball - A Glimpse into the Pastimes of West Sussex
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the ancient national game of stoolball being played at Horsham Park. Dating back to the 19th century, this engraving from The Graphic magazine offers a fascinating glimpse into leisure activities and sports enjoyed by women during that era. In this scene, we witness a group of enthusiastic players engaged in an intense match on a sunny day. The lush greenery of Horsham Park serves as their backdrop, creating an idyllic setting for this traditional game. Stoolball, with its roots deeply embedded in English history, was widely cherished as one of the nation's beloved pastimes. The image not only highlights the skill and dedication displayed by these players but also sheds light on the social dynamics and gender roles prevalent at that time. It is remarkable to see women actively participating in such sporting events when societal norms often confined them to more passive roles. As we admire this historic photograph, let us appreciate how it connects us with our ancestors' love for games and sports. Through images like these, we gain insight into our cultural heritage while celebrating the joyous moments shared by people long gone. This artwork reminds us that despite changing times and evolving traditions, some things remain timeless - like our collective spirit for playfulness and camaraderie through sport.
