Thomas Walker Stubbs (11 September 1856 – 5 June 1899) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.
The son of Henry James Laurie Stubbs, he was born in September 1856 at Ashton upon Mersey, then in Cheshire. He was educated at Clifton College,[1] before going up to Magdalen College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Middlesex at Lord's in 1877.[3] One of five Old Cliftonians to feature in the Oxford side that year,[1] Stubbs batted once in the match and was dismissed for a single run in the Oxford first-innings by Alfred Stratford. With his right-arm roundarm fast bowling, he took the wicket of Augustus Nepean in the Middlesex first-innings, and followed this up by taking the wickets of Nepean and Stratford in their second-innings, to finish with match figures of 3 for 41.[4]
He married Evelyn Risley at Stow-on-the-Wold in 1878, with future Jack the Ripper suspect Montague Druitt among the attendees. Stubbs died at Stow-on-the-Wold in June 1899.
