Thomas Sheppard

Who was Thomas Sheppard?

Thomas Winter Sheppard was an English cricketer in the early twentieth century. He made only two first-class appearances, one for each of Hampshire and Worcestershire.

His debut came for Hampshire against Yorkshire at Hull in August 1905; he scored 17 in a match in which play was possible on only one of the three scheduled days. Nearly four years later, in June 1909, Sheppard turned out for Worcestershire against Oxford University at The University Parks; here he made 22 and 14.

He changed his name to Thomas Winter Sheppard-Graham in 1919. He was the great-uncle of England Test batsman and Church of England bishop David Sheppard.
