Cobham Park near Cobham, Kent and located within the grounds of the Cobham Hall estate, was used a cricket ground. It was used as the venue for a single first-class cricket match between a team representing Kent and a Hampshire side.[1]
The ground was used for cricket matches by Cobham Cricket Club between the 1850s and 1870s, including a number of matches against the Royal Engineers Cricket Club.[2] The Hall was owned by the Earls of Darnley and a number of the family were keen cricketers. Ivo Bligh, who became the 8th Earl in 1900, captained the first English tour of Australia in 1882–83, recapturing The Ashes.[3]
The hall was last used for cricket in 1951.[2]
