Mote Park (cricket ground)
Mote Park is a cricket ground in Maidstone, Kent, England. It is inside the grounds of the Mote Park. It is owned by The Mote Cricket Club and is also used by the Mote Squash Club and Maidstone RFC. Up until 2005, it was also occasionally used by Kent County Cricket Club as one of their outgrounds.
== History ==
The first Kent match at ''The Mote'' was in 1859, two years after the founding of The Mote Cricket Club. However, visits by Kent to The Mote were limited until the intervention of Marcus Samuel, 1st Viscount Bearsted at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1908, Viscount Bearsted oversaw the levelling of the original playing area to form the middle of three terraces (the upper and lower levels became rugby pitches) and the wicket was moved to its current position, perpendicular to the original orientation.〔
In 1910, two permanent buildings were opened: the pavilion, which contains the players' dressing rooms and covered seating and the ''Tabernacle'', originally the private pavilion of Viscount Bearsted and used for spectating and entertaining in luxury. More recently the structure was used as a committee room for both the Mote and Kent County Cricket Clubs. Apart from some restoration work, the ground otherwise still resembles the facility constructed in the early 20th century.〔
The ground continued to be used by the county side for an annual cricket week until the end of the 2005 season. After 140 consecutive years of play, Mote Park was taken off the list of county grounds used by Kent when an over-watered 'green' wicket, prepared for the County Championship match against Gloucestershire, led to a low scoring game which ended after less than 2 days and a subsequent 8 point points deduction for Kent.〔(Kent end 140-year Maidstone deal ) from BBC Sport 30 September 2005〕 The facilities had only months before been approved for redevelopment as part of a larger scheme to increase the profile of cricket in the county town.〔(Major changes for cricket ground ) from BBC Sport 2 June 2005〕 Since that time, The Mote Cricket Club have relaid a number of wickets at a cost of £14,000 with the help of grants and technical assistance from the County Cricket Club and Maidstone Borough Council, and it is hoped this will allow the return of county cricket in the near future.
