Tags: Cricket Ground.
The Park was a cricket ground situated in the grounds of the mansion of George Finch 9th Earl of Winchilsea at Burley-on-the-Hill in Rutland. 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.
