Thomas Nordish
Thomas Nordish (baptised 25 March 1785 – 1 July 1842) was an English cricketer. He was a wicket-keeper batsman who played for Kent and England. He was born at Dodmore Manor Farm, Meopham, where he resided until his death.
Nordish made two "first-class" appearances, eight years apart. His debut came in 1815, in which, batting as an opener, along with Edward Winter, Nordish scored nine runs in the first innings of his debut match, and two runs in the second.
His second "first-class" appearance, in 1823, saw him bat at the top of the order with John Evans, once again with limited success, while the batsman he partnered went on to make a decent innings - Nordish scored a duck in the second innings, whilst partner Evans finished the second innings having carried the bat with 90 not out.
The family of Thomas Nordish lived at Dodmore Manor Farm located at The Street, Meopham. The family's surname was sometimes spelt as Nordash.[1]
