From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Westerham Common, also known as Westerham Heath, was a cricket ground near Westerham in west Kent. It was used primarily in the 18th century when historically significant matches were played.
In May 1730, a single wicket match between four men of Kent, captained by Edwin Stead, and four of Brentford was played for a wager of £50. It was the first game in what became a tri-series.[1] In June 1768, Westerham and Caterham, captained by Henry Rowett, played Bourne Cricket Club, captained by Sir Horatio Mann.[2] The Heath was used as a cricket venue occasionally in the 20th century.[3]
