Preston Hall, Aylesford

Preston Hall is a manorial home in Aylesford, Kent, England, dating back at least to 1102. Once owned by Henry Brassey and the Culpepper family[1] and latterly used as a hospital, part of the estate became the Royal British Legion Village in the 1920s, and with some of the remaining land now given over to housing, the site now also houses the Heart of Kent Hospice.

Cricket ground

Within the grounds of the hall was a cricket ground. In 1846 and 1847 Kent played Surrey in the ground's only first-class matches.[2]

The last recorded match was between H Brassey's XI and I Zingari in July 1879.[3] Today no cricket ground exists at the site.
