Royal proclamation
Under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971, bank holidays are proclaimed each year by the legal device of a royal proclamation. Royal proclamation is also used to move bank holidays that would otherwise fall on a weekend. In this way, public holidays are not ‘lost’ in years when they coincide with weekends. These deferred bank holiday days are termed a ‘bank holiday in lieu’ of the typical anniversary date.
Just googled the cricket aspect of Bank Holidays……. hehehe :D
Prior to 1834, the Bank of England observed about thirty-three saints’ days and religious festivals as holidays, but in 1834, this was reduced to just four: 1 May, 1 November, Good Friday, and Christmas Day. In 1871, the first legislation relating to bank holidays was passed when Liberal Politician and Banker, Sir John Lubbock introduced the Bank Holidays Act 1871 which specified the days ….] Sir John was an enthusiastic supporter of cricket and was firmly of the belief that bank employees should have the opportunity to participate in and attend matches when they were scheduled. Included in the dates of bank holidays are therefore dates when cricket games were traditionally played between the villages in the region where Sir John was raised. The English people were so thankful that they called the first Bank Holidays ‘St. Lubbock’s Days’ for awhile.

Bank Holidays …. a Bank Holiday is a a public holiday but there is no automatic right to the time off.
Many years ago the Bank of England used to have dozens of days when the closed for religious festivals and Saints days but these were drastically reduced to just a few.
I think it also had something to do with cricket. :D
