About us
Havering-Atte-Bower Cricket Club was founded circa 1860 by villagers who wanted to play cricket on the village green. Lady Pemberton Barnes bequeathed the land at Broxhill Road to the villagers just prior to her death in 1944. For the first hundred years of the Club's existence nothing much changed until the 1960's when there was a move to try and re-locate the Club to Tysea Hill in Stapleford Abbotts. To safeguard the villager's rights, a lease was drawn up in 1962 to allow the villagers to play cricket at the Broxhill Road site for as long as they wanted. The Church, which became one of the Trustees of the Estate, reluctantly allowed Sunday cricket for the first time in 1961 and in 1975 League cricket came to the village. Since then, the Club has retained their village atmosphere whilst progressing within the League set-up in Essex. The present pavilion was erected in 1964 and extended in 1977.
In 2010 the Club celebrated its 150th anniversary and raised over £1,600 for the British Heart Foundation and St. Frances Hospice in Havering-Atte-Bower. Since then an annual British Heart Foundation game has been played to continue fundraising and has been supplemented by an annual Memorial game to celebrate the lives of former members no longer with us.
