Cricket Team Members

We are fortunate that some of the local cricket matches played in the 1800's were reported in the Essex Chronicle and the Essex Standard both of which have archives.

The main organiser was Robert Page who lived at Downhall, Bradwell on Sea and not only maintained a cricket pitch at DownHall but took part in games in other villages.
