Description
The Retreat Cricket Club was founded in 1889. The team was composed of Retreat staff - though occasionally patients might be included - and it played other teams mainly from York, including York Civil Service, Bootham School, Bootham Asylum, the North Riding Asylum, St Michael le Belfrey, York Grocers, St Clements, York Police, Heworth Revellers, St Olaves, York Banks, Priory Street Wesleyans and others. The Retreat also played matches against Ackworth, the Quaker School in the West Riding. By the early 20th century there was also a ladies’ cricket team. Mixed cricket, with men and women on the same team, was also played.
