Lord's

Belonging to God

Lord's is the famous cricket ground in London, regarded as the spiritual home of cricket.

Named after its founder Thomas Lord, it hosts international test matches and is the headquarters of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), which historically governed the sport's rules: England are playing at Lord's this summer.
