William Wilmot (25 December 1869 — 19 May 1957) was an English cricketer. who played for Derbyshire between 1897 and 1901.
Wilmot was born in Denby, Derbyshire, the son of John Wilmot, a labourer, and his wife Elizabeth.[1]
Wilmot made his debut for Derbyshire during the 1897 County Championship, against Warwickshire and made a good account of himself during his remaining four games for the club during the season. In the 1898 season, he played for the Lancashire Second XI and returned to the Derbyshire team during 1899. He played one match in the County Championship before Derbyshire played host to the touring Australian cricket team. Despite Wilmot finishing not out from seventh in the batting lineup, Derbyshire lost by an innings margin, thanks to centuries from the Australians' batsmen Hugh Trumble, Monty Noble and Joe Darling, all of whom were past and future Test cricketers for the national side. There was a two-year gap before his next County Championship appearance in 1901 when he played one first-class game in July against London County.[2]
Wilmot was a right-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper.
Wilmot died in Wade Hill.
