Thomas Plumb (26 July 1833 – 29 March 1905) was an English first-class cricketer.
Plumb played first-class cricket for several teams between 1866–79, and was considered by some to be the finest wicket-keeper of his time.
Plumb, who was born at Aylesbury, was considered the finest wicket-keeper of his time, with W. G. Grace describing him as ‘about the best wicket-keeper of his time.’[1] He was considered by others to have been the equal of Ted Pooley and George Pinder.
In his later years he lived under poor circumstances, perhaps owing to the misfortune of not belonging to a major county during his career.
[1] He lived out his final years in a workhouse in Northampton, dying there in March 1905.
