The iconic Father Time at Lord’s celebrates 100 years: A trivia-filled journey through history
The Father Time at Lord’s has completed 100 years. This iconic weathervane is overlooking cricket’s home and MCC celebrated 100 years of one of cricket’s most enduring symbols. It was placed above Lord’s in 1926 and since then it has been recognized as one of the Ground’s most recognizable guardians, silently watching every over, every Test, and every moment of history.
Who got it made: In fact, this weathervane was gifted by Sir Herbert Baker, architect of the second Grand Stand at Lord’s, to MCC, after its completion in 1926. It was then placed above this Grand Stand. Many cricket historians believe that this was given as a part of an apology because the work on the Grand Stand was over running.
