''Old English Sports: Pastimes and Customs'' is a book written by Peter Hampson Ditchfield and published in 1891. The book explores the various sports and pastimes that were popular in England during the medieval and early modern periods, including archery, hunting, hawking, wrestling, and football. Ditchfield also delves into the customs and traditions associated with these activities, such as May Day celebrations and the Feast of St. George. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the leisure activities of the English people throughout history and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the social and cultural history of England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
