The First Ever English Olimpick Game

Sporting Events unite people and can have as much a political as a competitive motivation. This is certainly true of the English Olympick games, first played in 1612 on a small hill in the Cotswolds. These games stood as a testament to the ordinary people of England in their fight against the Puritan movement and ran almost continuously for more than two hundred years. Celia Haddon vivdly captures the intensity and enthusiasm of those involved and how the camaraderie of sporting competition united an entire region at a time when division within England was gathering momentum and the seeds of civil war were being sown. Revived in the 1960s, the games are still immensely popular today and draw thousands to the original Dover Hill every year.
