It was lovely to have the opportunity to visit Mike and David from Somerset Cricket Museum and ex-player Dr Hannah Thompson-Radford at their coffee and pastries morning celebrating women’s cricket at Somerset County Cricket Ground last week. Surrounded by ex-players, the atmosphere in both the 1985 room and the museum was full of memories, stories and a celebration of the game.

Dr Thompson-Radford is in the process of writing a book with Matt Kingdom exploring the history of the Women’s game. 

The museum was established in 1985 as the successor to the Somerset County Cricket Club Supporter’s Association and is housed in a 15th-century stone barn, the last remaining building of Taunton Priory. The museum focuses on celebrating past players and achievements and offers valuable insight into the rich history of the sport and the talented players behind it. We are delighted to have been able to contribute towards the museum’s collection in the form of their Somerset Women’s Cricket board (pictured).

If you have any memorabilia or useful information that the museum would benefit from please contact 01823 275893 or email somersetcricketmuseum@btconnect.com

Find the museum at: 7 Priory Ave, Taunton, Somerset TA1 1XX
