Hi all, I have been reading a book about the Bourne Valley and the Chutes in N.W.Hants and East Wilts a game is mentioned called SINGLE STICK. Would anybody have any idea what single stick was/is? The passage referring to UPTON, is as follows; Up to 1830 the villages in the Valley, says the record. sat spiritually in darkness, in the cruel shadow of death. The annual feast and revels with their cruel sports, including SINGLE STICK, wrestling, etc.,were scenes of blood, drunkenness, sensuality and sin. Quite a mixture! Look forward to hearing any suggestions. Best wishes Andy Mawer
