Gerald Heslop
Gerald Gwydyr Heslop (17 April 1879 – 28 November 1913) was an English first-class cricketer who played in two matches for Cambridge University in 1898. He was born at Thames Ditton, Surrey and died at Cringleford, Norfolk. Heslop was educated at Norwich School and at Clare College, Cambridge. A batsman often used as an opener and an occasional bowler, he was picked for Minor Counties matches for Norfolk from the age of 17 in the Minor Counties Championship's inaugural season of 1895, and played for the county through to 1901. At Cambridge University however, he was unsuccessful in the two games for which he was chosen, and faced stiff competition for batting places from players such as Gilbert Jessop and Cuthbert Burnup who would subsequently go on to substantial cricket careers; though he made centuries in college matches, he was not picked again for the university side. Outside university terms, however, he continued to play for Norfolk and in 1900 he was singled out in ''W ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People Educated At Norwich School
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form " people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural f ...
