James Walford

James Hare Walford (28 February 1838 – 16 August 1915) played in two cricket matches in 1860 that have since been recognised as having been first-class: one each for the Cambridge University Cricket Club and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). He was born at Dallinghoo, Suffolk and died at Wandsworth, London.

The son of the rector of Dallinghoo, Walford was educated at Harrow School and at Trinity College, Cambridge. As a cricketer, he was a middle- or lower-order batsman, though it is not known whether he batted right- or left-handed. Although he played in minor matches for the Cambridge team across the rest of the 1860 season, he was not picked for the University Match against Oxford University and played no further first-class games.

Walford graduated from Cambridge University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1861. He lived in Natal in South Africa and then later in Suffolk, where he was an agent for the Conservative Party.
