Henry Mathwin
Henry Mathwin (23 August 1852 – 31 December 1911) was an English schoolmaster and cricketer who played in one first-class cricket match for Cambridge University in 1874.[1] He was born at Bolton le Moors, Lancashire and died at Birkdale, also then in Lancashire.
Mathwin was educated at Bickerton House School, a school in Birkdale set up by his father, who shared his full name, and at Christ's College, Cambridge.[2] As a cricketer, he was a middle-order batsman in his single first-class match, though it is not known if he was right- or left-handed; he scored 17 and was 1 not out when the University team won the match.[3]
Mathwin became a schoolmaster when he left Cambridge University; he eventually succeeded his father as headmaster of Bickerton House School in Birkdale, though had given up the position before he died aged 59.[2]
