Henry Grey Tylecote (24 July 1853 – 8 March 1935) was an English first-class cricketer and educator.[1] Tylecote appeared in 29 first-class matches between 1874 and 1886, playing the majority of these for Oxford University, as well as appearing for the Marylebone Cricket Club amongst others.[2]

Early life and varsity cricket[edit]

The son of the Reverend Thomas B. D. Tylecote and his wife, Elizabeth Tylecote (née Fereday), he was born in the rectory at Marston Moreteyne in July 1853.[3] He was educated at Clifton College,[4] [5] before going up to New College, Oxford.[6] While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Oxford in 1874. He played first-class cricket for Oxford University until 1877, making nineteen first-class appearances.[7] He scored a total of 219 runs in these matches, with a high score of 39,[8] while with the ball he took 34 wickets at an average of 13.00, with best figures of 8 for 51.[9] These figures, one of three five wicket hauls he took, came against the MCC in 1877.[10] Playing as the Oxford wicket-keeper, he also took 19 catches and made 5 stumpings.[8]

While at Oxford, he also played a single first-class match for a combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities Past and Present cricket team against the Gentlemen of England in 1874.[7] He won a blue in cricket for all four of his years playing for Oxford.[3] While at Oxford, Tylecote was also prominent in the athletics club as a half-mile and mile runner. He finished second to the Cambridge runner the 1877 mile race.[11]

Later life and first-class cricket[edit]

In 1877, he featured for the Gentlemen in the Gentlemen v Players fixture at Chelsea.[7] Two years later he featured for the South in the North v South fixture, played for the benefit of James Southerton.[11] He first featured for the MCC in 1877, and would feature in four first-class matches for them until 1886.[7] He made additional first-class appearances for the Old Oxonians in 1881 (recording his only first-class half century),[12] for the South in the North v South fixture of 1883, and for I Zingari in 1886.[7] Tylecote made a total of 29 first-class appearances, scoring 442 runs and taking 45 wickets.[13]

Having graduated from Oxford in 1877,[6] he became a schoolteacher. He taught at the Golden Parsonage Preparatory School and at Elstree School, where he taught alongside Vernon Royle.[3] He later played minor counties cricket for Hertfordshire in 1900, making a single appearance in the Minor Counties Championship.[14] He died at Summertown in Oxford in March 1935. His brother, Edward, played Test cricket for England.
