A stuffed sparrow found in Lord’s Museum

Published by hindleyite at 8:33 pm under Complaints and general grumblings

A poor bird killed during an MCC vs Cambridge University match in 1936. He was stuffed and mounted on the very ball that killed him the same day, and currently resides in Lord’s museum.
