A brief history of Blackheath 

1067 Blackheath is referred to in the Domesday Book as the Blachedfeld Hundred, an area of land stretching from Wotton in the East to Godalming in the West and from Woking in the North to Sussex in the South.

1833 The first modern settlers begin building houses on the heath and the village of Blackheath is born.

1864 Queen Victoria visits the village to attend the Volunteer Review, a military exercise conducted by volunteer reservists. The Illustrated London News reports that a grand spectacle was marred only by the accidental shooting of the local parish priest the Rev.W.Earle! (The modern cricket ground is roughly the area where the two opposing "sides" would have met and The Volunteer Arms, now The Villagers,  was built in 1867 in honour of the event). 

1878 Cricket is played at Blackheath for the first time. Initially the team consists of workers from the Chilworth Gunpowder Company, for whom several of the houses in the village were built. 

1945-50 The basis of the modern square and outfield are laid. 

1957 After many years using the Forest King pub (now High Hazard) as an unofficial HQ, the club moves into the newly built pavilion.

1972 Blackheath enters the new Haig National Village Competition (now sponsored by The Cricketer magazine).   

1976 Blackheath is a founder member of the Arun Valley League.
