H T Waghorn




Waghorn is famous for his two classic researches into cricket's early history: ''The Dawn of Cricket'' and ''Cricket Scores: 1730 - 1773''.

He had a career in the Army and then obtained a post at the British Museum , where he was able to indulge his love of research into old newspapers and periodicals. Painstakingly, he assembled a mass of information from cricket notices, including some previously undiscovered match scores, which he eventually published in his two books.
