The old sport of tilting at the quintain, one popular throughout medieval England

The old sport of tilting at the quintain, one popular throughout medieval England, was revived at Offham, Maidstone, when the only quitain in the country was restored to the village green. It has been kept in safety from air raids all through the war. The Lord Lieutenant of Kent, Lord Corrnwallis, " reinstated" the quintain and took the first tilt at the quintain. Here Lord Lieutenant of Kent, Lord Cornwellis, takes the first try. It isns so easy as it looks; the sand bag has a tricky habit of swinging back and hitting the tilter on the head. 11th August 1945
