Duppas Hill
Duppas Hill is a park, road and surrounding residential area in Waddon, near Croydon in Greater London (and historically in Surrey).
Duppas Hill has a long history of sport and recreation. It is said that jousting took place there in medieval times and the story goes that Lord William de Warenne was treacherously slain there during a joust in 1286.
==Cricket==
Duppas Hill was a major cricket venue〔The term "major cricket" deserves some qualification. It is not limited to "first-class cricket" which is a misleading concept that is essentially statistical and may typically ignore the more important historical aspect of a match if statistical information is missing, as is invariably the case re matches played prior to 1772. From that season, scorecards began to be created habitually and there is a continuous and adequate, though incomplete, statistical record commencing in 1772. Major cricket in the Stuart and Hanoverian periods includes both single wicket and eleven-a-side games. Features of these matches include high stakes, large crowds and evidence that the teams are representative of several parishes, perhaps of whole counties. Except in rare instances, village cricket in the shape of a match played between two parish teams, would be classified as minor.〕 in the 18th century and is believed to have been used for major matches by the Croydon Cricket Club as early as 1707 when Croydon played the London Club. Its use in 1731 is mentioned in H. T. Waghorn's ''Cricket Scores 1730-1773'', and in two subsequent matches between Croydon and London.
The last mention as a major venue is in 1767〔H. T. Waghorn, ''Cricket Scores, Notes, etc. (1730-1773)'', Blackwood, 1899〕 when the nearby Caterham club, managed by Henry Rowett, played against Hambledon.
