Origin of Club
Nottinghamshire as a county team, played its first inter-county match versus Sussex at Brown's Ground, Brighton on 27, 28 & 29 August 1835. Nottinghamshire was recognised as a first-class county team, rather than a town club team, from 1835 but it is doubtful if the organisation at this time was a formally constituted club.
The formal creation of Nottinghamshire CCC was enacted in March or April 1841 (the exact date has been lost).
