William Buttress (25 November 1827 – 25 August 1866) was an English first-class cricketer active 1849–61 who played for Cambridge Town Club (aka Cambridgeshire) as a right-arm slow medium pace bowler.[1]
Cricket
In 17 first-class matches, he took 83 wickets with a best return of seven for 35. He achieved five wickets in an innings nine times and ten in a match twice. He batted right-handed as a tailender and held eleven catches as a fielder.[2]
He played county cricket for Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Huntingdonshire, Leicestershire, Devon, Dorset, Cheshire, Bedfordshire and (in 1852–53) Shropshire while being professional at Shrewsbury Cricket Club.[3]
Personal life
Buttress married Sarah Mott, a laundress, in Cambridge on 25 June 1848. The pair went on to have four children. Researcher Willie Sugg indicates that he was a keen practical joker, and that he struggled financially later for long periods of his career, being apparently assisted by John Walker (a former Cambridge University cricketer).[4]
Buttress was born in Cambridge and died there aged 38, due to tuberculosis.[2][5][4]
