Football was the winter game at Uppingham School, a boys’ boarding school in the English Midlands, throughout the headmastership of Edward Thring. The rules of play were never static for they evolved under pressures from boys, former pupils, masters and the headmaster, and through comparison with the football codes played at other schools and at the universities. An examination of the rich archive material held at the school enables a case study of the evolution of Uppingham football to be traced throughout its thirty-six-year lifetime, from its introduction by Thring in 1853 until its abandonment by his successor in 1889
