Walter Fellows (23 February 1834, Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire – 23 July 1902, Toorak, Melbourne) was an English amateur cricketer who later became a clergyman in Australia. He was the brother of Harvey Fellows, who also played first-class cricket. Cricket playerWalter Fellows was the seventh son of Thomas Fellows, of Moneyhill, Hertfordshire, and was educated at Westminster School and at Christ Church, Oxford.[1] He was an all-rounder who was first noted as a schoolboy cricketer at Westminster.[1] In first-class cricket, he was mainly associated with Oxford University and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). He played for several predominantly amateur teams including the Gentlemen in the Gentlemen v Players series. He had a reputation as a "terrific and very successful hitter".[2] Fellows' name has appeared in the "records" section of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack for many years under the heading "Record Hit" with the same wording: "The Rev. W. Fellows, while at practice on the Christ Church ground at Oxford in 1856, drove a ball bowled by Charles Rogers 175 yards from hit to pitch."[3] A note reproduced in an Australian newspaper in 1890 states that Fellows at the time was 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighed 17 stones 4 pounds.[4] Fellows made 24 known appearances in first-class matches from 1853 to 1857.[5] He played in the University match for Oxford University against Cambridge University as a lower middle-order batsman and a bowler for four years from 1854 to 1857, making important batting contributions in 1854, 1856 and 1857 and having some limited success as a bowler in 1855 and 1856; he appeared in the Gentlemen v Players matches at Lord's from 1855 to 1857.[6] Later careerFellows was ordained in 1858, and served as curate at Weedon and at Sidmouth,[1] before he emigrated to Australia in 1863 to become the first vicar of St John's Church, Toorak.[7] In Australia, he played for the Melbourne Cricket Club; a report in an Australian newspaper in 1878 indicates that Fellows was discouraged from playing in major matches by his bishop, Charles Perry, but that the retirement of Perry brought about a more permissive attitude from the new incumbent, James Moorhouse, and Fellows was able to resume.[8] He resigned his position due to ill health in 1900, and died at Toorak parsonage near Melbourne on 23 July 1902.[9][10] FamilyFellows married, in 1862, Julia Packe, daughter of Rev. Christopher Packe, vicar of Ruislip.[10] References1. ^Altham, p.111. 2. ^Altham, p.115. 3. ^For example: {{Cite book | title = Wisden Cricketers' Almanack | edition = 2011 | publisher = Wisden | chapter = Miscellaneous Records | page = 1475 }} 4. ^{{cite news| url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article84692543?searchTerm=walter_fellows_cricket&searchLimits=| title = Sporting Intelligence | newspaper = Bairnsdale Advertiser and Tambo and Omeo Chronicle | page = 2 | location = Bairnsdale, Victoria | date = 13 September 1890 | accessdate = 6 March 2013 }} 5. ^{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/36/36785/36785.html |title = Player Profile: Walter Fellows | publisher = CricketArchive | accessdate = 3 November 2008}} 6. ^{{cite web | url = https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/36/36785/First-Class_Matches.html |title = First-Class Matches Played by Walter Fellows | publisher = CricketArchive | accessdate = 6 March 2013}} 7. ^{{cite news| url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article35667393?searchTerm=walter_fellows_cricket&searchLimits=#pstart2586079 | title = St John's Toorak | newspaper = Adelaide Advertiser and Register | page = 11 | location = Adelaide | date = 18 June 1931| accessdate = 6 March 2013 }} 8. ^{{cite news| url = http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article70617187?searchTerm=walter_fellows_cricket&searchLimits= | title = A Reverend Cricketer | newspaper = Australian Town & Country Journal | pages = 35–36 | location = New South Wales | date = 12 January 1878 | accessdate = 6 March 2013}} 9. ^Cricket pages list his death as having taken place in 1901, but this appears to be a mistake, as there is a contemporary obituary in The Times on 31 July 1902. 10. ^1 2 3 {{Cite newspaper The Times |articlename=Obituary - Rev.
