## Career

Quiddington was a member of the famous [Chertsey Cricket Club](/source/Chertsey_Cricket_Club). His name has the alternative spelling of Quiddenden. He was primarily a bowler but his pace and style are unknown. He was a long stop fielder and described as a "steady batter".[1]

Quiddington's career probably began in the aftermath of the [Seven Years' War](/source/Seven_Years'_War) and he was certainly active between the [1769](/source/1769_English_cricket_season) and [1784 seasons](/source/1784_English_cricket_season). He is first recorded playing for Caterham v [Hambledon](/source/Hambledon_Club) at [Guildford Bason](/source/Guildford_Bason) on 31 July and 1 August 1769, a game that Hambledon won by 4 wickets.[2]

His last recorded appearance was for Chertsey v Coulsdon in June 1784.[2]
