Tyler's Ground (also known as Tyler's Meadow) was a cricket ground in Loughborough, Leicestershire. It is believed the ground was located along Allsop's Lane on the edge of the town, with the ground being described as located a short distance from Loughborough railway station.[1][2] The first recorded match played at the ground was in 1856, when Loughborough played an All-England Eleven.[3] A single first-class match was played at the ground in 1875, when the North played the South,[4] with W. G. Grace taking nine wickets in the North's first-innings and William Mycroft taking six wickets in the South's first-innings. Grace then took five wickets in the North's second-innings, ending with match figures of 14/108, while Mycroft took eight wickets in the South's second-innings to finish with match figures of 14/38. No batsman passed 26 runs, with the highest innings score being 130 in the North's second-innings. The match ended in a victory by 125 runs for the North.[5] No further matches are recorded as being played at the ground following this date and its location is today agricultural fields.
