EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Reverend Frank Gillingham (1875-1953) in his cricket attire, making his way back to the pavilion after scoring an impressive 201 runs for Essex against Middlesex in 1904. At the time, this was the highest total ever scored by a clergyman in a county match. Gillingham, a noted clergyman and cricketer, is seen carrying his bat and pads, his white cricket kit contrasting against the lush green grass of the cricket field. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the focus on the simple pleasure of the game and the dedication of its players. Gillingham's achievement was a testament to his skill and passion for the sport, and his ability to balance his religious duties with his love for cricket. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of cricket and the unique stories of the individuals who have made significant contributions to the game.
