Rowdens Road Cricket Ground, Wells
Rowdens Road is a former first-class cricket ground located in Wells, Somerset. The ground was an early home to Wells Cricket Club, though the club no longer plays there. Between 1935–1939 and 1946–1951, the ground hosted annual Somerset County Cricket Club matches. In the first first-class match at the ground in 1935, Somerset were dismissed by Worcestershire for just 56; a factor may have been that the match was played under what Wisden Cricketers' Almanack termed "novel conditions".
