Hillam & Monk Fryston Cricket Club The gardener of Monk Fryston Hall, John Foster, became the longest serving club secretary in Yorkshire, retiring in the 1970s after setting a record of seventy years’ dedication to cricket. The current joint pitch was established by Harry Lyon of Hillam Hall, the Hillam team was formed in 1911. During WW2 the two village pitches were used for agriculture and by 1945, the Monk Fryston pitch was unavailable, leading to the merger of the two teams and the joint name for the pitch. In 1975 the Lyon family sold the ground to the Club.
