Hambledon Club
The origin of the famous Hambledon (Cricket) Club, of Hambledon in rural Hampshire, is shrouded in mystery and legend but the club had certainly been founded by 1768. Its basis was a local parish team that was in existence before 1750 and had achieved prominence by 1756 when it played a series of three matches versus Dartford, which had itself been a major club for at least 30 years.
