Sir John Heathcoat-Amory, 3rd Baronet (2 May 1894 – 22 November 1972) was an English cricketer. Heathcoat-Amory was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm fast-medium.

Early life and war service

The son of Sir Ian Heathcoat-Amory, 2nd Baronet and Alexandra Georgina Seymour, Heathcoat-Amory was born at Mayfair, Middlesex.[1] He was educated at Eton College,[1] playing for the college cricket in the Eton v Harrow fixtures of 1912 and 1913, captaining the college in the latter year.[2] After leaving Eton, he studied at Christ Church, Oxford, where he played first-class cricket for the university cricket club. His first match was against Middlesex, making two further appearances in that season against the Free Foresters and GJV Weigall's XI.[3] He also played in minor counties cricket for Devon in 1914, playing a single match against Berkshire, taking ten wickets in the match.[4]

He fought in the First World War serving in the Devonshire Regiment.[5] He served during the war in the British Raj, Mesopotamia, Persia and Russia.[2] By the war's end he had reached the rank of captain.[1]

Later life

Following the war, Heathcoat-Amory resumed playing minor counties cricket for Devon,[4] and was appointed county captain in 1921. He held the office for Justice of the Peace for Devon in 1922.[1] In 1926, he was selected to play a first-class fixture for the Free Foresters against Oxford University,[3] scoring his only first-class half century with a score of 67 not out in the Free Foresters first-innings.[6] In 1927 he played a first-class match for the West of England against the touring New Zealanders,[3] and in 1928 he made a final first-class appearance for a combined Minor Counties cricket team against the touring Indians.[3] He continued to play for Devon regularly until 1932, before making a final appearance for the county in 1935.[4]

Following the death of his father in 1931, he succeeded to the title of 3rd Baronet of the Heathcoat-Amory baronets.[1] He married Joyce Wethered, the four times champion of the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship, on 6 January 1937.[1] He held the position of High Sheriff of Devon in 1942,[1] and later the Deputy Lieutenant of Devon in 1952.[1] He died at Knightshayes Court near Tiverton, Devon on 22 November 1972. As he died without issue, he was succeeded as the 4th Baronet by Derick Heathcoat-Amory.[1]
