Cricket field on Burton Court

Burton Court (sometimes called Bourton Court Шаблон:Citation needed) is a park in Chelsea, London.

It belongs to the Royal Chelsea Hospital which is situated on the southside of Royal Hospital Road, and comprises three tennis courts, a tennis academy and a cricket pitch.[1] Burton Court serves as home ground to the Household Division, thus hosting cricket matches many of which involve Army regiments.

History

In 1687-88 a public footpath was established through the park after the building of the hospital.[2] In 1761 this footpath closed at night, resulting in an extra half a mile for pedestrians to walk around it.[2] Garden Row was built in 1733 facing Burton Court and by 1794 had seven houses.[2]
