mayor
of the
small
Leicestershire
town

Magna
, is
leading
plans
to
reinstate
the
medieval
sport

Stoat
Raddling
.
Earliest
records
of the
sport
being
played
appear
in
monastic
illuminations
of the
ninth
century

died
out by the
1600s
when it was
overtaken
in
popularity
by the
sport

Weasel
Humping
, which was
made
illegal
in
1864
after being
directly
linked
to
three
fatalities
in the
Lincolnshire
area
.
