"Old English Sports, Pastimes and Customs" is a historical treatise on the various sports and games that have been played in England over the centuries. The book aims to describe, in simple language, the holiday festivals as they occurred in each month of the year; and the sports, games, pastimes, and customs associated with these rural feasts. The games were those played most in the English villages and the author hopes to rekindle interest in what he terms, "the best features of old village life." English customs such as exchanging gifts on New Year's Day, fox hunts in February, Easter and Christmas traditions, as well as different country dances and sports.

Start a journey through time with 'Vanishing England' by P. H. Ditchfield, a poignant reflection on the vanishing treasures of a bygone era. Written in the early 20th century, Ditchfield mourns the loss of England's charm and heritage, grappling with the encroachment of modernization and the shifting demands of a growing society. Each chapter unravels the fading tapestry of walled towns, castles, churches, mansions, and quaint cottages. Yet, the book dives deeper, exploring the erosion of customs, fairs, historic documents, and the very essence of English scenery. Experience the nostalgia and embrace the timeless allure of a vanished England in this evocative masterpiece.
