By the time of the Hanoverian succession, investment in cricket had created the professional player
and the first major clubs, thus establishing the sport as a popular social activity in London and the south of England.
Frederick, Prince of Wales, usually hostile to Walpole, warmly received him at his court the next day, most likely because his father's throne,
and the future of the whole Hanoverian dynasty, was at risk from the Stuart Pretender.
The walls are faced with white stone and each is pierced by a doorway; above the arches are displayed arms representing the six royal dynasties which ruled England until
Queen Victoria's reign(Saxon, Norman, Plantagenet, Tudor, Stuart and Hanoverian),
and between them there are windows stained with the arms of the early aristocratic families of England.
