The name may also refer to the club's previous ground at St Stephen's in north Canterbury.
Some of the earliest references to cricket are found in Kent and teams from the county dominated the game between 1830 and 1850.
The Beverley Cricket Club was formed in 1835 at the Canterbury estate of brothers John and William Baker.
[6] The new ground was described as "a field near the Cavalry Barracks"[7] and was on the Sturry Road in north-east Canterbury, although its precise location is not known.
The pavilion, in which a first-rate cold collation was spread, occupied the further part of the field, and on each side, in the form of a semicircle, were marquees, tents, benches, and accommodation of all kinds for the spectators.
