Biography
Wilfrid Walter Timms (28 September 1902 – 30 September 1986) was an English cricketer and schoolteacher who played first-class cricket for Northamptonshire and Cambridge University from 1921 to 1932.
Timms made his first-class debut while still a schoolboy at Northampton School for Boys. In his second match, when Northamptonshire followed on 381 in arrears, he scored 154 not out in five and three-quarter hours to save the match.
From 1930 he taught as a schoolmaster at Charterhouse School in Godalming, running the cricket at the school from 1932 to 1946.
