The History of Burbage Cricket Club
Location: Leicestershire
This project aims to record the history of Burbage Cricket Club as far back as possible. It has a mention in the South Leics Cricket League in 1896.
The group wish to make the research available in several mediums: booklet, web information, presentation material and archive records in printed, pictorial and oral format. To do this the group will research documentary evidence at public libraries, local records offices, County cricket archives, newspaper records, other local cricket records and the clubs own records.
Oral histories will be gathered from present and past members and others associated with its history. The club has played on the same cricket square (they believe) since its inception and the group will research the history of this land from old tithe maps, records and conveyance deeds.
The variations in architectural style of the pavilions that have been built on the site will be researched in order to illustrate the changes in design and requirements of the game. Presentations will be given to local schools, clubs and organisations.
