WILSON John, 11 August 1881. The Will of John Wilson late of Great Stanmore in the County of Middlesex Timber Merchant Surveyor and Builder who died 24 April 1881 at Great Stanmore was proved at the Principal Registry by William Wilson of Belmont Lodge Little Stanmore in the said County Surveyor the Son the sole Executor. Personal Estate £1,972 13s.
John Wilson and Stanmore Cricket Club: On 7th February, 1853, a general Court Leet of the Manor of Stanmore was held at the Abercorn Arms. This was presided over by John Froggatt, the Steward of the Manor, who was assisted by a duly sworn jury of twelve men, headed by a foreman. A Court Leet was the Court or Parliament of the Manor, at which the manorial matters were dealt with by or on behalf of the Lord of the Manor and those residing within its bounds.
The jurors on this occasion were all prominent men in Stanmore village. According to the record of the proceedings, which is contained in the original document (a most treasured possession of the Stanmore Cricket Club to this day), the jurors declared upon their oath that “having viewed a piece of land part of the waste of this Manor being on Stanmore Common, it would be of no detriment to either the Lord of the Manor or his tenants for the land to be granted to William Smith Tootell for the purpose of being conveyed by him to Trustees for a Cricket Ground for the use and benefit of parishioners of Great Stanmore." ... This was clearly an important moment as far as the history of the Stanmore Cricket Club is concerned, for, by this grant, land which had formerly been common land was given to it by the then Lord of the Manor, James, Marquis of Abercorn, for its use in perpetuity.
Legal formalities then made it necessary for a conveyance of the land by William Tootell to the Trustees who were appointed by the Cricket Club to receive the land on its behalf. These Trustees were eight in number, and it is a significant fact that several of them had served on the jury of the Court Leet! Their names ... are given below, and it is interesting to note that some of them are still well-known names in the village. They were: W. S. Tootell (Gentleman), William Dracott (Butcher), G. H. Hooper (Esquire), J. Hargood (Tailor), Francis King (Veterinary Surgeon), Hall Plumer (Esquire), Silvester Tomlins (Farmer), John Wilson (Builder).
The Deed referred to conveyed all rights and advantages of the land shown on the plan to the Trustees for the sole use of the Club and forbade the further grazing of cattle on the ground. The Club in those days accordingly began to flourish considerably.
In December 1876 it was realized that only two of the original Trustees to whom the Cricket Ground had been conveyed were still living, namely, Hall Plumer and John Wilson. New Trustees were accordingly appointed, and once again these gentlemen were all intimately connected with the life of the village. They were George Brightwen (Esquire), Thomas Meadows Clutterbuck (of the Brewery), George Dracott (of the Butcher’s business, still bearing his name, on Stanmore Hill), William Dallas Ochterlong Grieg, Charles Drury, Edward Fortnum, Charles Edward Keyser, William Arthur Tootell, William Wilson and Edward Woodman.
