The son of Thomas Mallam, he was born in August 1859 at Iffley Manor House in Iffley, Oxfordshire. He was educated at Uppingham School,[1] before matriculating at the University of Oxford in October 1878 as a non-collegiate student.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Gentlemen of England at Oxford in 1882.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 2 runs in the Oxford first innings by Bunny Lucas, while in their second innings he was unbeaten on 2 runs. With his right-arm slow bowling, he bowled a total of 21 overs across both Gentlemen of England innings' without taking a wicket.[4]

Mallam played his county cricket for Devon and Rutland, appearing for both in minor matches. Beside playing cricket, Mallam also played football for Uppingham Rovers F. C. from 1882 to 1886. He was by profession a teacher and was the headmaster of Dunchurch Hall Preparatory School.[1] Mallam died at Brentwood in December 1950.
