Keith Barlow

Keith Barlow (27 August 1890 – 5 April 1930) was an English amateur cricketer and chairman of the paper manufacturer Wiggins Teape. Barlow played two first-class cricket matches for Kent County Cricket Club and was associated with the club as a member of the Committee in the 1920s. Under Edward Barlow's chairmanship the conqueror brand was developed at Buckland Mill in the late 1880s and Wiggins Teape became one of the leading manufacturers of high quality paper. He purchased the Kearsney Court estate on the edge of Dover in 1900 and commissioned Thomas Mawson to design the gardens, one of Mawson's first independent commissions.

Barlow was educated as a boarder at Wootton near Dover before ill health forced him to be educated at home. He made his only first-class cricket appearances in 1910, playing in Kent's two University matches during the season against Oxford University at University Parks, and Cambridge University at Fenner's. Barlow scored 11 runs in his three first-class innings and took one catch in a Kent team which went on to win the 1910 County Championship, repeating the county's success of 1909. Barlow continued to play occasionally for the Kent Second XI in 1910 and 1911 before making a final appearance during the 1913 season, making a number of "useful" scores batting. He remained in the UK when the first line elements of the REKMR were sent to the Gallipoli Campaign in September 1915, serving as second in command of the 3/1st REKMR.
