He captained Peterhouse at cricket, football and tennis, and later played for Brentford F.C.[3] He was a steady right-handed batsman and a right-arm bowler who represented Middlesex, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and London County in first-class cricket between 1900 and 1907. He scored 6,575 runs (average 30.02) with a personal best of 155* against Surrey at Lord's in 1902 and took 83 catches and 107 wickets (average 30.63) with a personal best of 5/28 versus Lancashire at Liverpool in 1902. He became a noted artist and photographer. He was the first action photographer of sport in Britain, specialising in cricket and golf.[4] He collaborated with C.B. Fry on two instructional books, Beldam providing the illustrations and some of the text:
His brother, Cyril Beldam, and a cousin, Ernest Beldam, also played first-class cricket. A biography of him was written by a descendant:
Beldam married three times. He left his first wife, Gertrude, and married the much younger Margaret in 1921, then in turn left Margaret and married the even younger Christina in 1930. All three marriages produced children. He and Christina lived on 24 acres near Farnham in Surrey. He died of a heart attack in 1937.[5] References1. ^Search the Collection: George William Beldam (1868–1937), National Portrait Gallery.
