The earliest reference to [[cricket]] being played in the town is from 1711 and [[Epsom Cricket Club]] is thought to have been founded in around 1800. During the early 19th century, matches appear to have taken place on the Downs and also at Stamford Green on Epsom Common. By 1860, the club had established a new ground on Woodcote Road, on land belonging to Edward Richard Northey, and plays its home games there today.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://eehe.org.uk/?p=24056 |title=Epsom's cricketers in the 18th & 19th centuries |last=Bouchard |first=Brian |date=December 2016 |orig-date=December 2012 |publisher=Epsom & Ewell History Explorer |access-date=23 June 2021 |archive-date=23 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210623191922/https://eehe.org.uk/?p=24056 |url-status=live}}</ref>
