1871Best.-Nr. 2437Charterhouse School 1871. Hardcover. Very good. Dates: 1871-1877 and 1910. Small 4to. 37 ff. mostly with newspaper clippings neatly pasted in on both sides 4 ff. in manuscript "Summary of Scores" from 1871-1877 and 1910. Several leaves excised; it is possible that the present album had been re-purposed. On a few of the stubs appear fragmentary MS notations suggesting that the notebook may have once been divided alphabetically. We find on certain stubs "Ai" followed immediately by "Ao" and then several leaves later: "Her. - Hes" followed by "Io." Binding rebacked with smooth calf. In very good condition. Highly interesting homemade album of Cricket Scores available nowhere else specifically documenting the triumphs of three young members of the Blomfield family namely: E.G. Edward George C.J. Charles James and R.T. Reginald Theodore. One wonders if the present album was created in order to promote friendly competition between the brothers two of whom went to Haileybury School and one went to Charterhouse; all three went up to Oxford. There are scores and game synopsis of matches were between Haileybury Charterhouse Marylebone Cricket Club MCC Westminster Trinity College Oxon. Exeter Oxon. and more. One of the more interesting features about the album is that it provides a fascinating record of one family's love of the game: ¶ Edward George 1853-1885 entered Charterhouse School London in 1865 and transfer upon the School's removal to Godalming in 1872; in 1873 he went to Trinity College Oxon. where he earned a B.A. in 1877 and M.A. in 1879; thereafter he served as Curate of St. Mary's Portsea until 1883 and then Vicar of St. Mark's Woolston until his death in London in 1885. ¶ Charles James 1855-1928 went to Haileybury School; he underwent military training at Sandhurst and served as an army officer in India Sudan and Natal. He attained the rank of Major General before his retirement in 1917. NB: this individual is not to be confused with a noted architect of the same name b. 1862 d. 1932. ¶ Reginald Theodore 1856-1942 also went to Haileybury School; he earned his B.A. from Exeter Oxon. in 1880 and M.A. in 1884. He became an architect and was knighted in 1919. He is remembered mainly for his work designing British war memorials. ¶ The parents of the three young men were Rev. George John and his first cousin Isabella Blomfield of Bow Devonshire whose own father Charles James Blomfield was Bishop of London. ¶ At the end is a "Summary of Scores" for the years 1871-1877. Following this in a different hand is the year 1910; although the initial of the last name "Blomfield" remains the same the other initials belong to Reginald Thomas and his two sons Henry George and Austin. ¶ See Stedman Charterhouse Register 1872-1900 passim. CATALOGUER'S NOTE: We are grateful to Catherine Smith Archivist of Charterhouse School for much useful information concerning the Blomfield Family. hardcover
Best.-Nr. 109418The signatories are a'Beckett Fairfax Grimmett Hurwood Kippax Oldfield and Walker. The signatures were collected by the parents of a five year-old boy when the family travelled on the same ship as the cricketers on the voyage to England in early 1930. The leaves are the first two in an album with the printed image of the ship the Orient Line's SS 'Orford' on the front cover; some of the leaves are held in place with clear paper tape but the overall condition is very good. The page was also signed in pencil by Victor Richardson and again by Walker but the young owner went over these signatures in ink after first having tried to erase the second Walker signature written at right angles along the right-hand side at the end of the other signatures. The balance of the squad's signatures on another page are similarly gone over. However among the seven decent signatures there are some famous names as well as some rare and interesting Test players. Ted a'Beckett played in four Tests; Alec Hurwood played in only two Tests; Charlie Walker toured twice 1930 and 1938 without playing in a Test match due to injuries and he was killed in action in a bombing mission over Germany in 1942. unknown

The letter addressed to L. Cann proprietor of the eponymous hardware store on The Parade at Norwood in suburban Adelaide is signed by 'J.M. Gregory' - none other than Jack Morrison Gregory 1895-1973 the famous Australian Test cricketer. During the First World War he 'had two tours of duty in France. In 1919 he joined the A.I.F. cricket team in England. Under the leadership of H.L. Collins Gregory developed into an all-rounder whose spectacular hitting was matched by fearsome fast bowling and prehensile slip fielding. Discharged from the A.I.F. in March 1920 Gregory played a leading part next summer in the recovery of the Ashes from England with 442 runs at 73 in the five matches including a century at Melbourne 23 wickets at 24 and 15 catches. In December 1928 he broke down with a knee injury in the first Test against England and retired. In 24 Test matches he had taken 85 wickets at 31 made 1146 runs at just under 37 and taken 37 catches.

Thursday last was a day of days If you listen I'll tell you why. In fifty-one and a thousand ways It excelled many days gone by. Well! Littlebourne boasts of a Cricket team. Here lies the pith of our tale For Chislet a challenge sent forth and I deem They had nought to request or bewail. A fine opposition our village sent forth And at twelve on Lee Priory Ground They were ready to show onlookers their worth And determined to win I'll be bound!' The Littlebourne team score 80 runs before 'The tenth man was given "leg before."' A 'luncheon and tea' are then given and the narrator states that 'Of those unbeknown whom I helped to feed Were Pope Hunt Morgan Kirby and Grinstead.' He continues: 'The Doctor was there in his usual trim And his batting was none of the worst. His son bowled a bit so thanks go to him. Then another who fielded was Hirst.' An unnamed bowler who had scored 'a duck' 'Five wickets he took out of ten'. 'There are still two more I've forgotten to mention Nevill Cheatle and Smith were their names. The former's engaged and needs no apprehension The latter was surrounded with dames.' The outcome of the match is unclear the last stanza reading: 'But Thursday has gone and can ne'er come again. And Chislet were given the wicket But its fun and its joy will longer remain. So 3 cheers for the Littlebourne Cricket.' Printed poem: 1p. 12mo. On one side of printed 'Post Card' without any manuscript text. Arranged in portrait format and headed: 'Mr. C. S. Buckingham has retired from active cricket and is presenting the Fleet Cricket Club with a pair of oak gates. Vide "Hants & Berks Gazette."' Twenty-four rhyming lines arranged in six four-line stanzas. Addressed to Buckingham the poem begins: 'Ye placid waters around Chequers Bridge Reflect the dull dark sorrow: Our cricket hero's bats at rest Alas! What of to-morrow' The subject is described as 'the "Rooster Chief" Of Brother Carey's chicken'. He is also said to have 'Told the world of our bowler bold Biographer of Harris.' Final stanza: 'A pleasant memory yet remains A consolation left us Our flannelled legion will march to fame Through the gates of Claudius Septimus.'
