Cricket
Roe Green Cricket Club, established in 1881, nurtured villagers J.T and Ernest Tyldesley, world class cricketers who played for Lancashire and England. J.T. was born in 1873 in a terraced house, long since demolished, overlooking the playground whilst Ernest was born in 1889 at 131 Greenleach Lane. J.T. Tyldesley's benefit fund was used to build 71 Lumber Lane for the family. The property was named Aigburth' after the ground in Liverpool where Ernest, who lived at the other end of the village 19, played his first county match. Michael Vaughan, an outstanding Yorkshire batsman and captain of England, is a Tyldesley descendent - his great grandmother was the sister of J.T. and Ernest. All three cricketers were baptised at Roe Green Independent Methodist Church. The Tyldesley brothers are buried at St.Mark s Church. Worsley.
