Description:

Derbyshire / Shrovetide Interest: An early 20th Century painted Shrovetide ball, one side painted with Prince of Wales feathers to centre and inscription: GOALED AT CLIFTON MILL BY H. PETER SOWTHER, the reverse with Royal Crown and inscription: TURNED UP, FEBRUARY 21ST SAM DAKIN ESQ., with painted Union Jacks and banners dated 1928, approx 25cm diam (1) Provenance: Re: lots 305, 306, 307 & 308 - The Shrovetide Balls The balls currently belong to a family whose ancestors have played their part in the town’s world-renowned annual street football game for around 130 years. Over the course of decades, more than 40 Shrovetide balls were collected. Some were acquired, some were made by relatives and others were goaled by family members. Various Shrovetide balls were gifted to family and friends and, sadly, a number were sold years ago at the time of the death of the original owner. The current family now own six Shrovetide balls, two of which hold great sentimental value and will remain within the family. However, they have reluctantly chosen to part with four - including a ball goaled by Mr C Goodwin on Ash Wednesday in 1906. Lot 307: The 1906 ball was painted for the late Jack Smith, an Ashburnian, by Jack Roberts in the 1960s. However, due to damage, the current owner had it repainted by Ashbourne ball artist Tim Baker. It’s decorated with a George and Dragon emblem and the words ‘Turned up by J.C. Prince 1906’ on one side and St Oswald's Church with spring daffodils and the words ‘Sturston Mill G. Goodwin 1906’ on the other. It also features the football emblems of Derby County and Liverpool FC, clubs which are close to the family, and the Union Jack and flag of Hong Kong, a place of special memories for the current owner. A ball from 1926 is also up for auction. Though painted, IT makes no reference to who threw it up or goaled it. Ashbourne’s Shrovetide Roll of Honour shows the ball was thrown up by Mr T Farmer on Shrove Tuesday and goaled at Sturston by Mr William Brown. People can also bid on a ball with royal provenance. A 1928 example was used as the second ball on the day the Prince of Wales threw up the ball on Shrove Tuesday 1928. It features the Prince of Wales insignia of three feathers and is regarded as being of special historical importance. The fourth and last ball is the Jack Smith Memorial Ball. It has not been used in a Shrovetide match but is special because it was made by Jack, formerly of Station Street, Ashbourne - the original owner of all the balls. Jack goaled a ball at Clifton in 1954, threw up a second ball in 1967 - the same day his brother Alec Smith goaled a third ball at Clifton - made Shrovetide balls and painstakingly collated the original research which led to the creation of the Shrovetide Roll of Honour. Jack also presented a Shrovetide ball to the West German football team when they stayed in the Ashbourne area ahead of the 1966 World Cup. In all, family members have goaled three balls recorded in the Roll of Honour - William Twigge (1938), Jack Smith (1954) and Alex Smith (1967). However, what is not commonly known is that their great grandfather Samuel Arthur Smith, who is buried at Clifton, Ashbourne, goaled nine balls in the late 1800s before records were kept but then turned against the game and burnt all his Shrovetide balls. Ashbourne’s Royal Shrovetide Football Match is played annually on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. It dates back to at least circa 1667 but its exact origins are unknown due to a fire at the Royal Shrovetide Committee office in the 1890s which destroyed records. It’s played with a special ball filled with Portuguese cork to keep it afloat when it ends up in the river. The balls are hand-painted by artists. The design is usually related to the dignitary given the honour of turning-up the ball – starting the match. Once a ball is goaled it’s repainted with the name and in the design of the scorer and is theirs to keep. If a ball is not goaled it’s repainted in the design of the dignitary who turned it up and given back to them.
