My great, great grandfather won this bowl at the celebrations for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. Most parishes held some sort of party at which there was food and sports. My great grandfather was in the winning tug-of-war team at the Chignal, St James event. It has been passed down and now lives in a display cabinet in my great aunts house.
