Returning briefly to the world of actually true facts, it transpires that the laws of cricket were actually codified much earlier, in 1744. Overton is actually a village in Hampshire, which I already knew because we drove through it at some point during covid lockdown, on the way from Basingstoke to my granny's wake, which we had to hold outdoors on the Hampshire Downs. It was raining, ie. good burying weather. Unfortunately it does not appear that the laws of cricket were written in Overton.
