Harold Arthur Arkwright (10 November 1872 – 10 December 1942) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Oxford University between 1893 and 1895. He also made a few appearances for Essex during his university years, and later played two minor counties matches for Cambridgeshire.[1]
Educated firstly at Eton College, he was in the school's first eleven in both 1890 and 1891.[2] He went up to Magdalen College, Oxford,[3] and was awarded his Blue in 1895, when he took 0 for 16 and 1 for 71 in two innings.[4] He toured North American with Frank Mitchell's side in 1895, and played some cricket for Essex, Cambridgeshire and the Free Foresters. His final first-class appearance was in 1903, playing for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Oxford University.[5] In all, he claimed 72 wickets in 24 first-class appearances at an average of 23.62, and took ten wickets in a match on one occasion:[1] against Yorkshire in 1895.[6]
