Stratford on Avon Races and Town Plates 1764
A muddled racing notice from Stratford on Avon lists July and August events on Barham Downs and at the King’s Head. It details purses of fifty and one hundred pounds, age and weight rules, entry fees, and certificates of age, with stipulations for subscribers and non subscribers and a closing note about arrangements and a ball each evening.
