Legh Barratt, erroneously recorded at times as Leigh Barratt (11 December 1871 – 14 December 1950) was an English cricketer from Altrincham in Cheshire, England.[1]
Barratt played between 1894 and 1897, largely for Norfolk, though he also took part in two tours of the West Indies: Robert Slade Lucas' 1894–95 tour and Arthur Priestley's 1896–97 tour. He played all 15 of his first-class matches on these two tours, scoring 253 runs at an average of 11.00 and taking nine wickets at an average of 34.88.[2] [1]
He married Mary Thorburn in Cromer, Norfolk, in 1899.[3] He died in Sheringham, Norfolk.[4] He had two brothers, Gordon and William Barratt, who also played for Norfolk.
