[1] From "The life of Richard Linsell, the Essex Cricketer, Pedestrian, and Quoit Player":
In 1834, he entered upon a new speculation. He built a cottage about half-a-mile out of Clare, and obtained without any difficulty, a full licence to it; and from his love of cricket, called it "The Cricketers' Arms."Thanks to Graham Jolliffe for this information
