George Douglas Verity (4 June 1933 – 24 August 2012) was an English cricketer, mountain climber, hotelier, and professional golfer.
He was born in Rawdon, shortly after his father returned to England from the Bodyline cricket tour to Australia in 1933.
His father died in Naples in July 1943, of wounds inflicted while serving in Sicily as a captain with the 1st Battalion of the Green Howards during the Second World War, when Verity was 10 years old.
[citation needed] He moved to Snowdonia in 1955 to manage the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel, which had been used as a training base by the team that first climbed Mount Everest in 1953.
Wilfred was killed in an unusual road accident in 1975, when he was hit by a run-away cattle trailer, whilst out walking with his son.
