Arthur William Dorman (24 October 1862 – 7 January 1914) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.
[2] Playing as a slow left-arm orthodox bowler who was described by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack as “a first-rate left-handed bowler, with a high delivery and good break”,[3] he took 24 wickets in his seven matches for Cambridge at an average of 25.29.
[2] After graduating from Cambridge, Dorman took holy orders in the Church of England in 1890, becoming a deacon at Ripon Cathedral and a priest there in 1891.
He was curate at St Bartholomew's Church in his home town from 1893–98, before moving to the West Country to take up the post of vicar at Hinton Charterhouse, Somerset.
It is said in Shackleton's official biography that he was "saddened by the death of his wife's kindly brother, with whom he had spent so many quiet and happy week-ends at Hinton Charterhouse in the great days of popularity".
