About this listen

Oly Bennet explores the wild origin of the British and World Marbles Championship, tracing it to 1588 England when two men competed for a milkmaid's hand. After twelve brutal sports ended in a tie, she chose marbles as the tiebreaker on Good Friday—starting a 400-year tradition still held annually at Tinsley Green's Greyhound pub.
