Langton Park

Langton Park

Langton Park was a first-class cricket ground in Hornchurch, Essex. Surrounding Langton's House, built in the 18th century [ [http://www.havering.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=4709 Havering Borough Council site] ] , the park was the home of Hornchurch Cricket Club and was a major venue from 1785 to 1793. At that time, the Hornchurch club was representative of Essex as a county.

The earliest recorded first-class match at Langton Park was in May 1785 when Essex played Middlesex and the last was [http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/0/173.html Essex v MCC] in May 1793 Arthur Haygarth, "Scores & Biographies", Volume 1 (1744-1826), Lillywhite, 1862] .

The ground faded from the records as the Napoleonic Wars progressed and Essex ceased to have a first-class county team.

By 1889, the Hornchurch club had moved from Langton Park to nearby Grey Towers Park [ [http://www.hornchurchcc.org/index.php?module=PostWrap&page=history.htm Hornchurch CC site] ] .
