The village cricket club (White Waltham Cricket Club) was founded in 1879. Not without its ups and downs it has survived until today with just short breaks for two World Wars. The ground is generally accepted as one of the more attractive and in more recent years one of the best wickets in the County. The original pavilion was situated at the closest point to the pub, The Beehive, with an extra wide wicket gate, only removed in recent years, for players struggling to find their way back after the post match revelries. It was a small, green painted, timber building originally about twelve feet by eight feet consisting of a single dressing room and a tool shed, extended to provide a further dressing room in the 1920s.
