The roots of the club go back to 1870 when it was a Temperance House. In 1894 the St Stephens Cricket Club was formed and there is a team photograph in the club dated 1896. The club retains strong cricketing links and owns two snooker tables, dating backing before the 1930's. The club carries local and regional Real Ales. All newcomers are welcome free of charge and occasional visiting CAMRA members.
