Morning Post, Brecknock Arms Easter wrestling: play without shoes (1846)
Devon and Cornwall Wrestling.—The Easter wrestling in the above style commenced yesterday afternoon, at the Brecknock Arms Tavern, Camden-town. The attendance during the afternoon was very numerous, and the play in this ancient “science” was extremely good, many wrestlers from both the above counties being present, and the play being without shoes, appeared to give general satisfaction to spectators and players.
