What is recorded here
This white commemorative plaque records: The Dripping Pan. Originally created as formal gardens by Thomas Sackville, it became a sports ground from the early 18th century and then the home of Lewes Priory Cricket between 1831-1937. It has been the home ground of Lewes Football Club since 1885. Recorded plaque organisation: Lewes Town Council.
The Dripping Pan is historically significant as it transitioned from formal gardens to a sports venue, serving as the home ground for Lewes Priory Cricket Club and later Lewes Football Club, reflecting changes in local recreational activities over centuries.
