Playing stool ball
Stool ball is a reconstruction of a medieval bat and ball game that was probably the ancestor of both baseball and cricket. (We know stool ball existed, and we have an idea what some of the aspects of the game were, but no one knows what the actual rules were back then, so this had to be a reconstruction using what little we do know.) It is great fun, and folks in Wyewood play it a few times a year at our socials as well as at our summer events. Occasionally we even play it indoors. ;) (The ball is very soft.)
