| Text | "In the early seventeenth century, an Oxford fellow, Thomas Crosfield, noted the customs of Shrovetide as '1. frittering. 2. throwing at cocks. 3. playing at stooleball in ye Citty by women & footeball by men.'" Shrovetide was the Monday and Tuesday [That Tuesday being Mardi Gras in some quarter] preceding Ash Wednesday and the onset of Lent. Griffin, Emma, "Popular Recreation and the Significance of Space," (publication unknown), page 36. The original source is shown as the Crosfield Diary for March 1, 1633, page 63. Thanks to John Thorn for supplementing a draft of this entry. One citation for the diary is F. S. Boas, editor, The Diary of Thomas Crosfield (Oxford University Press, London, 1935). |
