1770 Hartley Row is founded on the Cricket Green, long before upstarts like the MCC. Cricket has probably been played on this site continuously longer than anywhere else in the world.
Late 1700s Amongst other fine players, David Harris,the greatest bowler of his time is getting his early practice at Hartley Row.
1807 Lady Mildmay plants the Oaks to replace trees felled to provide wood for "mad" George III's navy.
1873 The club’s fortunes suffer, but it is resuscitated by one Dr Henry Maturin, a very enthusiastic and famous cricketer; in 1889 Hartley Row beat New Forest Club to win the County Challenge Cup, scoring an impressive 475 in the process.
1921 Adrian Stoop, the famous England and Harlequins rugby player, and cricket lover, buys Hartley Grange and under his patronage the club enjoys a golden era throughout the 20s and 30s.
1939-45 The ground is commandeered by the army during the second world war, and used as a lorry park. The honorary groundsman, Norman Wilson – also a fine cricketer – leads the village to put it all to rights.
1950s Two great and much-loved characters – Noel Selfe and Ken Turk - arrive on the scene. Ken becomes Chairman in 1981. In May 1992, he hits a six and dies suddenly, at the crease of the club he loved.
1956 The club builds its first permanent pavilion. It costs £800 and Hampshire County Cricket Club XI visit to celebrate its opening.
1970  The Club’s bi-centenary is celebrated with many events including an 18^th century cricket match with the players in costumes of the period, a tug-of-war, barn dancing and an ox roast.
1985 Fire consumes  the pavilion. The club replace it with a new one to be proud of, but...
1987 During the freak storm of November 1987 it is crushed by one of those Oaks planted by Lady Mildmay 180 years earlier.
1987-8 We run a  series of fundraising events, including a visit from Sir Tim Rice’s Heartaches XI and winter matches - raised sufficient funds to have the building replaced.
1990 The excellent new brick pavilion is opened in April. Happily, we're still using it.
2008 Annus Mirabilis. Our Saturday and Sunday First XIs win their leagues, and the Second XIs just miss out. We win the Guy Jewell cup, are runners up in the Aylward Cup. Our Colts win 3 leagues and the County and Cove Cups
2008 The Club joins Chance to Shine, establishes programmes at local schools and gains Clubmark accreditation
2010: We gain a second ground at beautiful Bramshill, to meet the needs of our burgeoning youth section
