Cassiobury Tennis Club
Sporting Club in Watford, Hertfordshire
The origins of the club are shrouded in mystery. However, it is known that tennis and croquet were played in the grounds of Cassiobury House as far back as the 1880s. The 1882 entry in Kelly's Directory of Hertfordshire indicated the existence of a Thomas Turner, a timber merchant and general wood turner and manufacturer of the Cassiobury games of croquet, garden tennis, etc. It would seem that these grounds were sold off in the 1920s. An area roughly the size of three courts was purchased by a Mrs. Schreiber in 1924 to form a club originally known as St. Michael's.
