The Marylebone Cricket Club was founded in 1787 from White Conduit members; its exact foundation date is lost but fell in late spring or summer 1787.
Arthur Haygarth states in Scores and Biographies that the Marylebone Club was founded in 1787 from White Conduit members, but the date when it was established could not be found. The exact date of MCC's foundation is lost but seems to have been sometime in the late spring or the summer of 1787. A notice in London's Morning Herald on 25 April 1787 asked members of the Cricket Club to meet at the Star & Garter, Pall Mall, on Monday, April 30, though its agenda was unspecified. The club is an English cricket club founded in 1787 whose Lord's headquarters are dubbed the Home of Cricket.
