Histories of Devon Cricket Clubs

THE purpose of this webpage is to enable those interested in the history of cricket in the ancient county of Devon to find publications (books and pamphlets) about individual clubs. A list of journal and magazine articles may be added at a later date.

   Where the publication contains no table of contents, no effort has been made to count the number of illustrations, etc.

   In some case full details are available, in others it is necessary to contact the club to discover basic information.

   The present list is very much ‘off the top of the head' and the authors welcome a note   with as many details as possible of other histories of Devon cricket clubs. Out of print volumes should be included.

   Please sent the information about other publications to Jeffrey Stanyer, whose contact details accompany the book on Exeter CC – the Great Survivor.

Publishing Information

   As much information as possible is provided under the following headings, o that potential readers can decide whether a volume is worth consulting and perhaps purchasing.

   In many cases some of the information will be missing or not known

   Name of author(s), editor(s) and or compiler(s).

   Publisher name

   Date of publication

   Number of pages, appendicies, tables, figures, maps, graphs, charts, illustrations etc.

How to obtain

   If the book is listed as ‘out of print' then potential readers should explore second-hand bookshops, book sales, the Devon County Library system and appropriate private libraries, such as the Devon & Exeter Institution

Where no obvious contact is available, potential readers should get in touch with the secretary or other officer of the club concerned. The contact details for most of these can be found in the Devon League handbook.
