Archibald Hugh Conway Fargus MA (15 December 1878 – 6 October 1963) was an English cricketer who was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm fast. He was also a scholar and clergyman and served in the Royal Navy.[1] Early life and cricketBorn in Clifton, Bristol,[2] Fargus was the son of novelist Frederick John Fargus and Amy Spark.[1] He was later educated at Clifton College and Haileybury before attending Pembroke College, Cambridge.[3] Fargus made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire in the 1900 County Championship against Middlesex. In that same season he also made his first-class debut for Cambridge University against Surrey.[4] Fargus played first-class cricket for both teams in 1900 and 1901, typically playing for Cambridge University in the months of June and July and for Gloucestershire in August.[4] He played 12 matches for the University, from whom he won a Cambridge Blue in 1900 and 1901,[3][5] and 15 for Gloucestershire, plus one match for the Gentlemen in 1900.[6] Overall, Fargus was a superior batsman while playing for Cambridge University, scoring 292 runs at a batting average of 16.22, plus scoring his only half century in first-class cricket, a score of 61. For Gloucestershire he batted in 27 innings, scoring 210 runs at an average of 9.13.[7] With the ball, the reverse was true; his bowling with Gloucestershire was more successful. For the county he took 33 wickets at a bowling average of 26.54, with best figures of 7/55, one of two five wicket hauls he took.[8] His best figures came in his debut match against Middlesex, with the 7/55 coming in the Middlesex second-innings and following on from the 5/32 in their first-innings.[9] These figures were the best by any player on debut in the County Championship at that time, it would be a record which would stand for 14 years, until it was beaten by Cec Parkin who took match figures of 14/99 on his Lancashire County Cricket Club debut in 1914 [10] In contrast, for the University he took 27 wickets at an average of 41.66, with best figures of 4/35.[8] His first-class career ended at the end of the 1901 season. However, in 1904 he represented Devon in that season's Minor Counties Championship, playing a single match against Glamorgan.[11] Outside of cricket, Fargus played rugby for Devon.[3] Naval career and later life{{Quote box| quote =The Rev. A. H. C. Fargus was not lost, as stated in the Press, in Admiral Cradock's flagship, the Monmouth, on November 1, 1914. Missing a train, he was prevented from re-joining the ship just before it left for the Pacific and was appointed to another.[12] | source = – Wisden Cricketers' Almanack of 1916 informing readers that Fargus was alive and well. | width =35% | align =left }} Fargus was ordained by the Bishop of Winchester in 1906.[13] He initially took up duties at Forton, Hampshire.[3] He joined the Royal Navy in 1907 as a Chaplain,[14] serving aboard HMS Encounter from 1908–1910, {{HMS|Jupiter|1895|6}} in 1910 and 1911, {{HMS|Prince George|1895|6}} in 1911 and 1912, {{HMS|Zealandia}} in 1912 and {{HMS|Prince of Wales|1902|6}} in 1912 and 1913.[13] In 1913 he was appointed as the vicar of Askham Richard, Yorkshire.[15] In order to take up this post he allowed to withdraw from the Royal Navy with a gratuity.[16] Later in the First World War he rejoined the navy, where he served as a Temporary Chaplain on board {{HMS|Monmouth|1901|6}} and was seemingly present during its sinking in the battle Battle of Coronel in the Pacific. Indeed, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack included an obituary for him in its 1915 edition.[15] But by a quirk of fate he missed the train and was thus unable to board the ship, instead being posted to another. He remained a Temporary Chaplain until 1919. He later became Chancellor of St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral in Valletta, Malta from 1919 to 1923.[3][15] Later in 1923, Fargus took the post of Chaplain in Huelva, Spain, a position he held until 1925. By 1941 he was resident at Horfield rectory in Bristol.[3] He died in Eastville, Bristol on 6 October 1963. Unlike his 'death' in 1914, his actual death was not reported in the 1964 Wisden Cricketers' Almanack and his obituary did not appear until the 1994 edition.[5][15] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sheilaweston/fargus/bristol%281%29.htm|title=Bristol Farguses|accessdate=15 April 2011}} 2. ^"Clifton College Register" Muirhead, J.A.O. p167: Bristol; J.W Arrowsmith for Old Cliftonian Society; April, 1948 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{acad|id= FRGS898AH|name=Fargus, Archibald Hugh Conway}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |subscription=yes |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/29/29345/First-Class_Matches.html|title=First-Class Matches played by Archibald Fargus|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=15 April 2011}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/236400.html|title=Supplementary Obituaries|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|accessdate=23 April 2011}} 6. ^{{cite web |subscription=yes |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/5/5580.html|title=Gentlemen v Players, 1900|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=15 April 2011}} 7. ^{{cite web |subscription=yes |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/29/29345/f_Batting_by_Team.html|title=First-class Batting and Fielding For Each Team by Archibald Fargus|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=15 April 2011}} 8. ^1 {{cite web |subscription=yes |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/29/29345/f_Bowling_by_Team.html|title=First-class Bowling For Each Team by Archibald Fargus|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=15 April 2011}} 9. ^{{cite web |subscription=yes |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/5/5451.html|title=Middlesex v Gloucestershire, 1900 County Championship|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=15 April 2011}} 10. ^Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 2005, p. 784. 11. ^{{cite web |subscription=yes |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/29/29345/Minor_Counties_Championship_Matches.html|title=Minor Counties Championship Matches played by Archibald Fargus|publisher=CricketArchive|accessdate=15 April 2011}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/12997.html|title=Player profile: Archibald Fargus|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|accessdate=15 April 2011}} 13. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://website.lineone.net/~remosliema/anchaplains.htm|title=Army, Navy and Air Force Chaplains 1800 to 1960|accessdate=15 April 2011}} 14. ^{{London Gazette |issue=28027 |date=4 June 1907 |page=3832 }} 15. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/228030.html|title=Obituaries in 1914|publisher=ESPNcricinfo|accessdate=15 April 2011}} 16. ^{{London Gazette |issue=28680 |date=10 January 1913 |page=245 }} External links
