Home clubEarl of Winchilsea's XI
Establishment1790
Last used1814

It was used for first-class cricket in 1790, when an early all-England team played a Hampshire team. The fixture was repeated the following year. Also in 1791, an Old Etonians side played the Marylebone Cricket Club. In 1792 the Earl of Winchilsea's XI played Assheton Smith's XI. In 1793, England played a Surrey team at the ground. The final first-class match held on the ground was during the same year when the Earl of Winchilsea's XI played R Leigh's XI.[1] The final recorded match held on the ground was in 1814 when Rutland played Nottingham.[2]

The grounds of the mansion has been used for occasional cricket matches in recent decades[3] including in 1994 the Lord's Taverners against a Rutland XI to mark 300 years since the house was constructed.[4]
