When cricket was democratised and taken up more widely in the
nineteenth century, the pavilion became an essential item for every
cricket club. Pavilions provide the necessary facilities –
changing areas, room to eat, drink and socialise, an external
clock, a scoreboard, a view of the pitch – but also a home for
the trophies, scorebooks, records and archives that embody the
history and heritage of a club. Whether thatched pavilions on
village greens, ornate Victorian structures or Modernist icons, the
cricket pavilion is at the heart of the game’s architectural,
social and cultural significance. In this lavishly illustrated
book, Lynn Pearson explores the history of these often overlooked
gems of architectural and social history.
