Archie MacLaren — 424 at Taunton (1895) and the Lancashire Captaincy
Lancashire, Somerset
1895-07-16
Archibald Campbell MacLaren scored 424 for Lancashire v Somerset at Taunton on 15-16 July 1895 — the first quadruple-century in first-class cricket and the highest individual innings until Bill Ponsford's 429 in 1923. The score remained the English first-class record until Brian Lara's 501 not out in 1994. MacLaren went on to captain Lancashire and England across the 1900s.
