His 548 wickets at 22.28 included 102 in 1895 and 9 for 28 against MCC at Lord's in 1899. A right-handed tail-ender, he averaged 8.31 with a top score of 62 not out. In 1906 he umpired first-class matches. Arthur Woodcock was born in Northampton on 23 September 1865 and died at Billesdon from "self-administered poison" on 14 May 1910. References
