Amazing what you come across walking down a side street ln Thirsk (on way back from Easington)


Or, in someone's back garden.                                                            
Thomas Lord (23 November 1755 – 13 January 1832) was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1787 to 1802. He made a brief comeback, playing in one further match in 1815. Overall, Lord made 90 known appearances in first-class cricket. He was mostly associated with Middlesex and with Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) as a ground staff bowler.  


Lord is best remembered as the founder of Lord's Cricket Ground.

Touring Lord's - In 2011 we risked a weekend in London, taking in Lord's, handing in Peter Davies' and my anthology of West Yorkshire cricket, entitled 'It's not Lord's', to the librarian. Click touring if you are interested.
