Percy Northcote

Dr Percy Northcote (18 September 1866 – 3 March 1934) was an English medical doctor and amateur cricketer who played in seven first-class cricket matches between 1888 and 1903 for Middlesex and Kent County Cricket Clubs and for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).

Northcote was born in Islington in London, the son of Gilbert and Elizabeth Northcote (née Edwards). His father was a wholesale warehouseman and Northcote was educated at Cranbrook School in Kent. He studied medicine at St Thomas' Hospital in London and made his first-class debut for Middlesex in 1888 whilst a student. He played twice for the county that season as well as for the Gentlemen of Kent in a minor match. The following season, after an innings of 201 not out for the hospital team, he was selected to play for the Kent county team against MCC at Lord's. His Wisden obituary described him as a "good free right-handed batsman" who "bowled slow left arm".

Northcote qualified as a doctor in 1893 and spent much of his career working in London. He married Edith Reynolds in 1921 and died in March 1934 at Marylebone in London aged 67.
