A newspaper reported that "base-ball" was played at the "Grand Whitsuntide Chartist Holiday" excursion to Gravesend in Kent: "The spacious grounds of the Bat and Ball Tavern being reached, the company separated--some to visit Windmill-hill and admire Rosherville, whilst others engaged at an exhilarating game of cricket, base ball, and other recreations."
