Often called the ‘home of cricket’, Lords’ history dates back to 1787 when Thomas Lord opened his first cricket ground on Dorset Fields – where Dorset Square in Marylebone stands today. Lord moved the ground to Lisson Grove, before ultimately settling on its current location in 1814

Lord's cricket ground, home of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and of the Middlesex County Cricket Club is widely regarded as the spiritual home of cricket.
