Question

Who founded the Lord’s cricket ground in London?
A. James Lord
B. Thomas Lord
C. Mathew Lord
D. William Lord

Answer 1

Hint: Lord's is commonly referred to as the Cricket Home and is home to the oldest sports museum in the world. On the estate of the Eyre family, which gave Lord another plot nearby, was the "Middle Ground"; and he moved his turf again. During the 1814 season, the new ground was opened on the current site.

Complete Answer:
Lord's Cricket Ground is a cricket venue in St John's Wood, London, commonly known as Lord's.
Thomas Lord opened his first floor in May 1787 on the site where Dorset Square now stands, acting on behalf of the White Conduit Club and sponsored against any losses by George Finch, 9th Earl of Winchelsea, and Colonel Charles Lennox, It is owned by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and is named after its founder, Thomas Lord, It is home to Middlesex County Cricket Club, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the European Cricket Council (ECC), and the International Cricket Council (ICC) until August 2005. Lord's is commonly referred to as the Cricket Home and is home to the oldest sports museum in the world. The present-day of the Lord is not in its original location; it is the third of the three grounds built by the Lord between 1787 and 1814. From 1811 to1813, his second ground, Lord's Middle Ground, was used until being abandoned to make way for the building through its Regent's Canal outfield. The present land of the Lord is approximately 250 yards (230 m) north-west of the Middle Ground site.

Hence, Option B. Thomas Lord is the right option.

Note: In 2014, the existing ground celebrated its two hundredth anniversary. An MCC XI which was captained by Sachin Tendulkar played against a Rest of the World XI led by Shane Warne in a 50 overs match on 5 July to mark the occasion. On 22 June 1814, the first recorded match was MCC v Hertfordshire. This is not graded as a first-class match. MCC prevailed by an innings and 27 runs, respectively.
