 Perhaps the most famous was the one in which Thomas White's huge bat caused a furore that led to a change in the Laws of Cricket.This was the Chertsey v Hambledon game on Monday, 23 and Tuesday, 24 September 1771.Eight first-class cricket matches were held on the ground between 1773 and 1779, one with Chertsey classified as a first-class club, the only time this happened, six with Surrey teams as the home side and one where an England side played a Hampshire side.
