On Friday 28th June a special celebration took place at Cedar House in the High Street, Caterham-on-the-Hill in memory of former resident, Jarvis Kenrick. On November 11th 1871, 19 year-old Jarvis scored the first ever goal in the FA Cup Competition in a first round 3-0 victory for Clapham Rovers over Upton Park. Jarvis was the son of Jarvis Kenrick, Rector of Caterham and was living at the rectory now Cedar House. The Kenricks lived there from 1857 until 1874 and it was during this time that St. Mary's Church was built and also St. John the Evangelist in Caterham Valley and St. Luke's in Whyteleafe.

Jarvis also played one first class match for Surrey County Cricket Club and was secretary of the All England Croquet Association.

Jarvis married and had nine daughters and the Parish Council succeeded in tracing some of his descendants for the unveiling of a plaque at Cedar House to commemorate the famous event in 1871. Also present were representatives from Clapham Rovers, Surrey County Cricket Club and the All England Croquet Association. Local businesman, David Gold, attended the celebration, bringing the original FA Cup with him.

Jarvis's great grandson, Jarvis Kenrick Browning, came down from York to perform the unveiling and the Reverend Duncan Swan of St. Mary's Church blessed the plaque.

Following the unveiling ceremony, guests enjoyed a buffet lunch at the St. Pauls Centre where there was a display relating to Jarvis Kenrick's achievements and his family.
