Edward Tylecote

Edward Ferdinando Sutton Tylecote (23 June 1849 – 15 March 1938) was an English cricketer.

Tylecote's innings covered three afternoons and six hours as he amassed 404 not out: the first known quadruple century in a cricket match.

Tylecote was a good all-round sportsman at school, winning a number of athletics competitions whilst at Clifton.

This he succeeded in doing, by beating the team that had beaten England two-one, and afterwards Bligh was presented with an urn with ashes in it by some Melburnian ladies as a memento.

A poem was attached to the urn, which memorialises Tylecote's contribution, along with the contributions of a number of his teammates: Outside of cricket Tylecote taught mathematics at the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich from 1875 to 1895, as well as teaching in some preparatory schools.
