The Vine Cricket Ground, also known as Sevenoaks Vine, is one of the oldest cricket venues in England. It was given to the town of Sevenoaks in Kent in 1773 by John Frederick Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset (1745–1799) and owner of nearby Knole House.[1] The land is thought to have possibly been used as a vineyard for the Archbishops of Canterbury.[1][2][3]
Seven oak trees were planted on the northern edge of the ground in 1902 to mark the coronation of King Edward VII.[4] Six were blown down in the Great Storm of 1987. In December 1987, seven new oaks were planted to replace those lost in the storm.[5]
