Description
The formation of the present Club was established in Brentwood in 1876. Some six years later the County headquarters were transferred to Leyton, as Brentwood was considered too remote from London, and by 1894 Essex was granted first-class status by the MCC in its Classification of Counties. Well over half a century went by before the Club acquired the present site in Chelmsford in 1966.
