Percy George Herbert Fender 1892 –1985) played 13 Tests and wascaptain of Surrey between 1921 and1931. An all-rounder, he was amiddle-order batsman who bowledmainly leg spin, and completed thecricketer's double seven times. Notedas a belligerent batsman, in 1920 hehit the fastest recorded first-classcentury, reaching three figures in 35minutes which remains the recordtoday. As early as 1914 Fender wasnamed one of Wisden's Cricketers ofthe Year. After war service in theRoyal Flying Corps he re-establishedhimself in the Surrey team andbecame captain in 1921. Hiscaptaincy inspired the team tochallenge strongly for the CountyChampionship over the course ofseveral seasons, despite a shortage ofeffective bowlers. Alongside hisforceful though sometimes contro-versial leadership, Fender was aneffective performer with bat and ball,although he lacked support as abowler. From 1921, he playedoccasionally in Tests for England butwas never particularly successful.Despite press promptings, he wasnever appointed Test captain, andfollowing a clash with the highlyinfluential Lord Harris in 1924, hisEngland career was effectivelyended. Further disagreementsbetween Fender and the Surreycommittee over his approach andtactics led the county to replace himas captain in 1932 and to end hiscareer in 1935. A very recognisablefigure, Fender was popular with histeam and with supporters.Cartoonists enjoyed caricaturing hisdistinctive appearance. In addition tohis cricket career, Fender worked inthe wine trade, had a successfulcareer in journalism, and wroteseveral well-received books oncricket tours. He worked well into

the 1970s, even after going blind. Hedied in 1985.

Very early and original redleather bound scorebook for the clubwith titles in gilt to front cover andbrass metal clip fastener to edge,marbled page block and wasproduced by Harris & Galabin,Stationers of Fenchurch Street,London. The scorebook appears torecord thirty matches played in theperiod 1845 to 1853 by Clapton, themajority from 1845 to 1847, withmatches played against Haileybury,Dulwich (Union), Oxford &Cambridge Universities (combinedXII), Haileybury College, OxfordUniversity, Cambridge University,Cambridge Quidnuncs, BlackheathDartmouth, Blackheath Paragon,Montpelier Club, Surry [Surrey] Club,Kings Walden and Godalming. Somenotable players took part in thesematches including four of the Walker(of Southgate) brothers who playedregularly for Clapton C.C. prior to theformation of the Southgate Club(circa 1858) for which they becameknown, John Walker, Alfred Walker,Frederic Walker, Arthur HenryWalker, William Nicholson, ThomasSherman, Edmund Reeves, WilliamDenison, George Brockwell (Uncle ofWilliam), Frederick Caesar (Brother ofJulius), Charles Gordon, ThomasCraven and appearing in two of thematches and playing for BlackheathDartmouth, Nicholas Felix(Wanostrocht) scoring 43 runsagainst Clapton in July 1845 andscoring 96 not out for Blackheathagainst Clapton in July 1846. The

match played between Montpelier(the original tenants of theKennington Oval) and Clapton on17th July 1845 was played for a 100guineas a side, the announcement ofthe match in the press on the 13thJuly 1845 read ‘The Montpelier andUpper Clapton Clubs will play theirannual match on the Surrey Ground,Kennington Oval on Thursday next,the 17th instant, and from thecelebrity of these strong clubs, a greattreat is expected. The ground is infine condition’. A report on the matchon the 20th July 1845 reads ‘Amatch, which excited considerableinterest, took place between theabove clubs on Thursday last, at theNew Ground, Kennington Oval.Some fine play was exhibited on bothsides....’. Both Arthur Haygarth andW.W. Read (in various books) statethat this match was the first to beplayed at the Kennington Ovalalthough H.H. Montgomery in hisbook ‘The History of Kenningtondoes not, he suggests that the firstactual game at the Oval was playedon the 13th May 1845. To the backof the scorebook neatly handwrittento two facing pages are the ‘Averagesof Runs obtained in Matches for1845’ and ‘Averages of Runsobtained in Matches for 1846’ andalso of wickets taken. There are alsoannotated notes regarding the pastseason. For 1845 the notes read ‘TheClub played 8 matches of which 4were won, 2 were lost and 2undecided.... The season was verywet and unfavourable and several ofthe first rate matches were impededthereby’. For 1846 ‘The club played9 matches, 5 won, 3 lost and 1undecided. The finest weather weever had’. Plus there is a handwrittenteam sheet with names and order ofbatting numbers to sides. Craven andGordon scored the most runs in 1845and John Walker and Gordon werehighest in 1846 with Craven andAlfred Waker taking the mostwickets. The scorebook has been veryneatly compiled and interestingly laidout and in two distinctive hands, thepages preprinted with titles with aninnings to a page. The early matchesfrom 1845 to 1847 have handwrittenheadings detailing the two teamsplaying, the ground and the date ofthe match. There follows a series ofmatches where no headings with

dates appear however the first matchwith no heading has been identifiedas being between Clapton andCambridge Quidnuncs in 1853 andthe penultimate match written in thebook has titles to the top border vBlackheath 17th August 1853 so it isreasonable to assume all gameslacking their heading took place inthat year although there seems to bemajor changes to the Clapton teamfor the last match entered, so thismay have been at a later date. The‘celebrated’ Clapton Club wasformed in 1832 and re-formed in1854.

The scorebook has been in thevendors family possession for over30 years. The book ‘The Walkers ofSouthgate. A Famous Brotherhood ofCricket’. W.A. Bettesworth 1990devotes several pages to the club andthe Walkers involvement therein. Apassage from the book reads ‘In his[John Walker] early days he was oneof the supporters of the old ClaptonClub being assisted in his efforts topromote the club’s success by Mr W.Nicholson, who himself was afamous wicket-keeper and batsman[pages 27/28]. There is a six pagechapter on pages 161-166 entitled‘Early Matches’ which refers in greatdetail on matches played for Claptonby the Walker brothers. ‘As isperhaps only natural, the records ofthe early days of the Walkers in thecricket field are not only incompletebut almost non-existent.Occasionally by good fortune onemay come across a score of an oldClapton or Southgate Albert match,but as far as can be ascertained thescore books were destroyed someyears ago. This is the more to beregretted because many of thefamous players of the day assistedthe Clapton Club.

Mr F. Walker, playedfor the Quidnuncs, scoring 31 notout and 43, both the highest scoreson his side. For Clapton Mr John, MrAlfred and Mr Arthur Walker allmade runs, while Mr Alfred wasirresistible with the ball, takingfourteen wickets...’
