Cricket matches
Bury Hill was possibly the venue for the match in 1702 between the 1st Duke of Richmond's XI and an Arundel XI. Its earliest known definite use was on Tuesday, 20 July 1725 for the 2nd Duke of Richmond's XI versus Sir William Gage's XI which Richmond's XI won by over 40 runs. The same fixture was held there again on Friday, 12 June 1730, but the result is unknown. On Monday, 26 August 1745, it was used for a Sussex versus Surrey match which Surrey are believed to have won.
