William Stearman (1813 – 11 April 1846) was an English cricketer who played during the 1830s and 1840s. He made 15 first-class appearances, mainly for Kent sides immediately before the formation of Kent County Cricket Club.
Stearman was born at Aldborough in Norfolk in 1813, [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] the son of John and Sarah Stearman ( née Muniment). [2] Professionally he worked as a cooper and is believed to have been recruited to play for Kent by Fuller Pilch, a Norfolk player who had been persuaded to move to Town Malling in 1836. [6] [7]
On his first-class debut for Kent against Sussex in 1836, Stearman scored 26 not out in his second innings, the highest score of the match. [1] [2] A right-handed batsman, he played in a total of 15 first-class matches, 11 for Kent sides and four for England XIs, [a] scoring a total of 244 runs and frequently opening the batting for Kent. The 26 he scored on debut remained his highest first-class score. [b] [2] in 1839 he was the first man dismissed by Sam Redgate during a four-ball over in which he took three wickets. Stearman had scored 15; both Alfred Mynn and Pilch were dismissed for ducks. [2] [9]
By 1843 Stearman had returned to Norfolk. He played for Norfolk sides between 1842 and 1845 in matches which do not have first-class status. He died of tuberculosis in 1846 and is buried at Thurgarton, the neighbouring village to Aldborough. [2]
