Lamb’s Conduit Field was an open area of Holborn, that was a noted cricket venue in the first half of the 18th century.
The location of Lamb’s Conduit Field was partly that now called Coram’s Fields - situated on the former site of the Foundling Hospital, established by Thomas Coram in 1739. It is believed that the field ceased to be a cricket venue when construction of the Foundling Hospital was approved.
Lamb’s Conduit Field is known to have been used for matches from June 1707 - the first match known to have been played there was that month when London met Mitcham Cricket Club.
It was used in 1731 for when London played against a team from Enfield and was then used twice in 1736 for London v Surrey and then for Middlesex v Surrey. By this time, the London club was using the Artillery Ground as its primary venue.
Lamb’s Conduit Field is not to be confused with White Conduit Fields, in Islington, which was another venue of 18th century cricket.
