The son of William Wickham Wickham and his wife, Katherine Henrietta Fairfax, he was born at Wetherby in March 1871.[1] He toured the West Indies with Lord Hawke's XI 1896–97, making his debut in first-class cricket on the tour against Trinidad at Port of Spain. He made six further first-class appearances on the tour, playing further matches against Barbados and British Guiana.[2] Playing primarily as a bowler, he took 24 wickets on the tour at an average of 19.04, with best figues of 5 for 38.[3] These figures, which was his only first-class five wicket haul, came against British Guiana at Georgetown.[4] With the bat, he scored 50 runs with a high score of 20 not out.[5] He married Kathleen Wylie in 1907, with the couple having two children.[1] He died at Harrogate in December 1952.
