The land was originally donated to the Brighton Cricket Club by the then Prince of Wales. His patronage helped Brighton to become a powerful club that sparked a revival in the fortunes of Sussex cricket which lasted well into the 19th century. MatchesOnly four first-class cricket matches were played at the ground. All of them took place between September 1791 and September 1792.[2] AftermathAs the towns of Brighton and Hove developed, the land was sold a few years later and the cricket club moved to a new site in Brighton at Temple Fields, which was where Montpelier Crescent is now. The Brighton club was representative of Sussex as a county and it ultimately became the main instrument in the formation of Sussex County Cricket Club in 1839. From July 1814 the club occupied the Royal New Ground (also known as Thomas Box's Ground), another Brighton venue, which was used for 49 first-class matches until September 1847 and was the county ground for Sussex in its early years.[3] From 1848 to 1871, Sussex used the Royal Brunswick Ground in Brighton, also known as C H Gausden's Ground.[4] Since 1872, the club has been based at the County Cricket Ground, Hove.[5] References and notes1. ^Not to be confused with the 19th century London ground Prince's Cricket Ground. 2. ^https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/11/2371_misc.html CricketArchive list 3. ^[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/11/348_f.html CricketArchive] 4. ^[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Grounds/11/347_f.html CricketArchive] 5. ^Sussex CCC website Further reading
