First Major Match at Bramshill Park — Hampshire Patron Cricket, 1827
Hampshire vs MCC
1827-08-08
On 8-9 August 1827 Hampshire played MCC at Bramshill Park — the seat of Sir William Cope — in one of the last great country-house major matches of the patron era. Cope had laid out a strip on the parkland in front of the house and stocked it for major cricket. The fixture is among the final examples of the eighteenth-century model of patron-funded country-house cricket carried into the new era.
