The first recorded match on the ground was in 1857, when Sussex played the Marylebone Cricket Club in the grounds only first-class match. The final recorded match held on the ground came in 1894 when the South Saxons played the Gentlemen of the Netherlands, a Netherlands side which contained the famous Carst Posthuma.
