John Ernest Nichols (20 April 1878 – 29 February 1952) was an English cricketer who played five first-class games for Worcestershire between 1902 and 1904, as well as making one first-class appearance for Minor Counties in 1912. He had little success in any of these matches.
Nichols also played for Norfolk and Staffordshire in the Minor Counties Championship, playing into his fifties for Norfolk. In 1927 he returned an analysis of 12.2–6–14–7 for Norfolk against Leicestershire Second XI. [1]
He stood in one match as an umpire: that between Minor Counties and the South Africans at Lakenham in 1924.
Nichols was born in Acle, Norfolk; he died at the age of 73 in Thorpe, also in Norfolk.
