Cricket Malherbie is a village 2 miles (3 km) south of Ilminster and 2.5 miles (4 km) north east of Chard in the South Somerset district of Somerset, England.
The church which is dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, has 12th century origins, but was rebuilt around 1855 by Rev J.M Allen. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.[1]
Cricket Court was erected as a country house in 1811 for Admiral Pitt.[2]
