Bury Hill is an area of West Sussex north of Arundel and south-west of Bury. In the 18th century its name may have sometimes been spelled Berry[1][2] or Bery Hill,[3] and it was used as a venue for cricket matches.[4]
Its earliest known definite use was in June 1730 for match between the 2nd Duke of Richmond's XI and Sir William Gage's XI.[3] In August 1745, it was used for a match between a Sussex side and a Surrey team, the third in a series of matches between the two sides.[2][5] The ground appears to have remained in use until the 1770s, with references to matches which were scheduled to be played on the hill in 1771 and 1774.[6]
