County Ground, Lakenham

Entrance to the former County Ground, with the thatched pavilion beyond the gates.

The County Ground in Lakenham, Norwich, Norfolk was a cricket ground for over two hundred years, hosting both first-class and List A cricket.[1] Five first-class games, all involving touring international sides, were played here between 1912 and 1986,[2] and 13 List A matches were staged between 1969 and 1998.[3] The County Ground's most regular users, however, were Norfolk County Cricket Club, who played over 400 Minor Counties Championship games at the venue.[4] In the early 21st century the ground was redeveloped for a variety of other uses.[5]
