ASW records a game in the 1749 English cricket season at White Conduit Fields on 2 August involving 22 members of the London Cricket Club. The report states that the venue was in use before 1720 but that the White Conduit Club was not established until 1780. On the site was the White Conduit Tavern, erected in about 1648, and this was a favourite halting-place for those who had walked out a short distance from London. In 1749, the Tavern was owned by William Curnock and shortly afterwards by Robert Bartholomew (died 1766), the Surrey cricketer. In the 1749 English cricket season, the strongest county was Surrey. ...

In 1766, FLPV records the death on Thursday 6 February of Robert Bartholomew. He had played for Surrey in the 1750s and may well have been related to the Bartholomews who played for Chertsey in the 1770s. He was the master of the Angel Inn at Islington (note: well-known to Monopoly enthusiasts) and also of White Conduit House. February 6 is the 37th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ...
Islington is an inner-city district in north London. ...
The other two Bartholomews are Chertsey Cricket Club players who appear on scorecards in the 1770s. On the cards of three Chertsey matches in the 1775 English cricket season, they are recorded as Rev Bartholomew senior and Mr Bartholomew junior. It is believed that the junior was William Bartholomew, who also played for Surrey teams at the time, including matches in 1773 for which scorecards have survived. The senior is believed to be Reverend Charles Bartholomew, a Chertsey Club stalwart who played occasionally in the 1770s but may have been a regular in times past. Chertsey Cricket Club in Surrey is one of the oldest in England. ...
