The son of William John Wickham and Lucy Trotman, he was born at Winchester in October 1825.[1] He was educated at Winchester College,[2] before going up to Wadham College, Oxford.[3] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford in 1844.[4] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed in the Oxford first-innings without scoring by William Hillyer, while in their second-innings he was unbeaten on a single run.[5] Wickham died at Winchester in January 1845, following a fall from his horse.[2]
