Sport and Leisure
[edit]Cricket
[edit]Everdon Hall was once home to one of the most prestigious cricket grounds in Northamptonshire. Established in 1901, the ground was used only intermittently until its restoration in 1950 by Richard Henry Hawkins.[4]
At its peak, the venue hosted around 30 matches per season, primarily on Sundays with occasional midweek fixtures, and attracted a number of notable England and overseas players.[5] Cricket activity at the ground ceased following Hawkins's death in the late summer of 1997.[4]
