NPOV[edit]

Wow. I've never seen someone who's been dead for over 100 years described with such venom. He may have been all of the things the article suggests, but the tone is wrong. I would suggest more direct quotes from the references. Megapixie 03:07, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the information comes from this source: [1] at cricinfo, and there are several other sources quoted in this website. Each one of them describe him as a vile man. Vsanborn (talk) 19:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to add this source [A Single Wicket Scandal http://www.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/379180.html] which also confirms that The Honourable Reverend Lord Frederick Beauclerk was considered a vile scoundrel. Vsanborn (talk) 12:21, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another fine mess[edit]

Though not as bad as William Beldham. Needs revision and expansion. Some of the tales in the article are anecdotal and I don't think they can be verified. Where does the eight centuries at Lord's come from? --BlackJack | ^{talk page} 06:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have made a start by removing some stuff and giving it a fresh layout. Content needs to be addressed very carefully. --Jack | ^{talk page} 07:02, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
