Some Famous People called William Brazier
William Brazier
William Brazier (1755 at Cudham, Kent – 7 October 1829 at Cudham) was a noted English cricketer of the late 18th century who played mostly for Kent.
Brazier is first recorded in the 1774 season and was probably a genuine debutant in that year, being aged 19 at the time. He was a good all rounder who bowled fast and was a powerful hitter.
He played for a left-handed team in 1790 but S&B says he was right-handed. He did not play during the years 1777 to 1781 inclusive, possibly because he was in the armed forces or otherwise employed away from Kent. According to S&B, he was a farmer at Cudham.
William Brazier made 53 known first-class appearances from 1774 to 1794 but he continued to play village cricket until 1819 when he would have been 64 years old.
