Hovingham Cricket Club

Hovingham Cricket Club The first recorded match was contested here in 1858. Cricket, more than any other sport, is as much about the setting as the game.

Hovingham Hall is believed to be the oldest private cricket ground in England and has been home to the Worsley family since 1563

Picture, then, the scene at Hovingham Hall, where for two centuries the Worsley family has hosted games of cricket on its front lawn. On that occasion the England team took on the villagers and won (not always a given with the national side). These days, Hovingham Hall

is thought to have the oldest continuously used private cricket ground in England. At Hovingham, your eye sweeps from lush fields across immaculately tended lawns to a handsome Palladian palace. The cricketers, in their pristine white flannel, elegantly animate this lovely panorama. Hovingham Hall, Hovingham,
