Lord's Middle Ground

It was used mainly by Marylebone Cricket Club for major matches until 1813, after which Lord was obliged to relocate because the land was requisitioned for the cutting of the Regent's Canal.

[1] Only three first-class matches were ever recorded at the ground, one in each season between 1811 and 1813 at the height of the Napoleonic Wars.

[2] James Rice played all three matches of his first-class career at the Middle Ground and, equally, all the matches ever played at the Middle Ground featured James Rice.

Today, the Beverly House apartment complex stands on the site of Lord's Middle Ground.

A commemorative plaque, bearing the MCC monogram, is on the complex's eastern fence.
