Written Histories

Brocklesby Park Cricket Club - A Brief History - Michael Davey (1995)

A very interesting read covering the history of the club up until 1995. A pdf version of the book is available to download in two parts. Part One (4.5mb) and Part Two (3.3mb).

Ongoing Research

I've been busy myself, with a visit to the Lincolnshire archive in Lincoln to try and turn up some more information on the early days of the Club. So far I've established that a game was played at Brocklesby Park between Kirmington and Caistor in 18721. This might be a case of mistaken identity on behalf of the Caistor scorer, and further research is needed to see if this was actually a Brocklesby Park team.

The scorebooks of the Burton by Lincoln Club2 and Lincoln Silver Street Club3 revealed nothing, despite being very interesting.

Future Research

there are several more records that I am interested in viewing, not including a mountain of Estate papers that could be relevant to getting a start date for the ground and a build date for the pavilion.
