Henry Attfield

Henry Attfield

Henry Attfield (1756 – c.1829) was an English cricketer who made his first known appearance in the 1773 season. Aged 17 at the time, he must have been a genuine 1773 debutant. He was a native of Bagshot in Surrey.

He played frequently for Surrey but was still only 26 when his career ended in 1782.

He seems to have been known as "Field" and this often appeared on old scorecards.
