Old Blues Rugby Football Ground. The club was originally for former scholars of Christ’s Hospital. The Club was founded only two years after the Rugby Football Union itself which makes it one of the Oldest Clubs in the World. In 1919 the president was George Rowland Hill, who in 1926 became the first man to be knighted for services to Rugby Football. The club bought a ground at Fairlop but following the Government's "Drink Driving Campaign" the trek to Fairlop became difficult. In 1982 Fairlop was sold and this ground at Motspur Park was bought. Half of the grounds was sold to King’s College School – and thus built a new semi-detached pavilion in 1993
