Joseph Edward Alfred Greatorex (7 March 1863 — 16 December 1940) was an English first-class cricketer and architect.
The son of R. C. Greatorex, he was born in March 1863 at Kensington. He was educated at Harrow School,[1] where he played for the school cricket eleven. He was described at Harrow as a "sound batsman" and featured in the Harrow v Eton match of 1881, taking figures of 5 for 35 with his slow bowling.[2] Shortly after completing his education at Harrow, Greatorex made two appearances in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club, against Hampshire at Southampton and Cambridge University at Fenner's.[3] He scored 18 runs in these two matches, with a highest score of 12.[4] Greatorex was by profession an architect.[1] He died in December 1940 at Uppingham.[2] His brother, Theophilus, was also a first-class cricketer.
