William Buttress (25 November 1827 – 25 August 1866) was an English first-class cricketer active 1849–61 who played for Cambridge Town Club (aka Cambridgeshire) as a right-arm slow medium pace bowler.
He batted right-handed as a tailender and held eleven catches as a fielder.
[2] Buttress married Sarah Mott, a laundress, in Cambridge on 25 June 1848.
Researcher Willie Sugg indicates that he was a keen practical joker, and that he struggled financially later for long periods of his career, being apparently assisted by John Walker (a former Cambridge University cricketer).
