About
The Vine Cricket Ground, also known as Sevenoaks Vine, is one of the oldest cricket venues in England. Its name comes from a belief that the site was once a vineyard owned by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The Vine's earliest known use was in September 1734 for an historically important match between Kent and Sussex. The world record for the highest known individual score was twice broken on Sevenoaks Vine—by Joseph Miller in 1774, and by James Aylward in 1777. The Vine staged its last important match in 1829.
