Alfred Charlesworth
Cricket Player
1865 – 1928
Who was Alfred Charlesworth?
Alfred Charlesworth was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire in 1888 and 1898.
Charlesworth was born in Simmondley, Derbyshire, the son of John Charlesworth, a stonemason, and his wife Ann. In 1881 at the age of 16, Charlesworth was a clerk.
Charlesworth played three matches for Derbyshire in the 1888 season, the first of the seasons when they lost first class status and made little impression. Charlesworth reappeared for Derbyshire in the 1898 season, making his first-class debut against Essex. Despite being absent hurt in the first innings, he returned during Derbyshire's attempt at bowling out a high-scoring Essex team, in which every player but wicket-keeper Solomon Hardy and opener Sydney Evershed had a crack at bowling, in many cases economical but unsuccessful. Charlesworth played six more first-class matches for the club in the season. He only bowled again in a draw against Nottinghamshire. His last match was against Yorkshire in what remains the highest score against Derbyshire. He was absent hurt again in this match, this time in the second innings.
