It is jointly managed with St Paul's Cray Common.
Cricket is still played on Chislehurst Common as the Chislehurst and West Kent Cricket Club has its ground in the south-west corner of the common on Cricket Ground Road.
[1] The earliest known use of Chislehurst Common for top-class cricket was in July 1738 when Chislehurst played London in a game that "turned several times" until finally being won by London.
[3] It was the intended venue for a Kent side to play London match on 26 June 1741 that was rained off.
The Common was used in 1752 when a Kent side played a Surrey team[4] although it was used occasionally for cricket during the 19th and 20th centuries.
