The Bat & Ball Inn is a historic eighteenth-century pub near Clanfield, Hampshire, England.

History

[edit]

The pub is situated opposite the Broadhalfpenny Down cricket ground, the original home of the Hambledon Club. Richard Nyren, a landlord of the inn from 1762 to 1772, was the Hambledon Club's team captain. Nyren was succeeded as landlord by William Barber, another well-known Hambledon cricketer, who held the licence until 1784.[1][2]

The Monarch's Way long-distance footpath passes the pub.

The pub is currently owned by Fuller's and is a former George Gale and Co Ltd Pub. The pub has been Grade II listed since 1954.[3]
