Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club — Formally Constituted, 1859
Nottinghamshire Cricket Club
1859-01-01
Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club was formally constituted in 1859, giving official structure to the county cricket that had been played under the Nottinghamshire name since the 1820s. The formal club provided a stable foundation for the professional staff — Parr, Guy, Jackson and the emerging Daft — and for the Trent Bridge ground that William Clarke had leased and developed. Nottinghamshire would be one of the two dominant counties of the 1860s and 1870s.
