The land on which the recreation ground was built was given to Lewes for that purpose in 1934 not long after its transfer from the parish of Kingston. Prior to that it was a series of meadows and drainage channels known as The Cannels according to a 1799 estate map of Kingston. The recreation ground is shared by Lewes Rugby Club and Lewes Priory Cricket Club both of whom moved here in 1937. The two clubhouses at the end of the main rugby pitch date from 1937 and 1979 respectively. See also Image, Image and Image
