About Property:
Marylebone Cricket Club, generally known as MCC, was founded in 1787 by members of the Islington-based White Conduit Club who had relocated to Marylebone. Since 1814, MCC has been based at the Lord's cricket ground, which it owns, in St John's Wood, London NW8. Since its foundation, the club has raised its own teams which are essentially ad hoc because they have never taken part in any formal competition
