Frederick Wells (1 July 1796 - 27 January 1849) was an English cricketer. Wells was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm underarm medium. He was born at Dorking, Surrey.
Wells made his first-class debut for Surrey against Kent at Sevenoaks Vine in 1828.[1] The following season he made a single first-class appearance for England against Sussex, before making a single first-class appearance each the following season for the Gentlemen of Kent against the Marylebone Cricket Club and for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Suffolk.[1] He made his debut for Sussex against England in 1832. His next six appearances to 1834 for Sussex were in Sussex v England fixtures.[1] He made his only first-class appearances for the Players in the Gentlemen v Players fixture of 1834.[1] Wells went on to make a further thirteen first-class appearances for Sussex to 1838.[1] In March 1839, Sussex County Cricket Club was formally created with Wells playing in the club's inaugural first-class fixture against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's. He made three further first-class appearances for the club in 1839, the last of which came against the Marylebone Cricket Club at the Royal New Ground, Brighton.[1] Wells played 24 matches for Sussex (twenty prior to the formation of the County Cricket Club and four for the County Cricket Club), scoring a total of 285 runs for the county at an average of 6.19, with a high score of 32.[2] His highest first-class score of 67 came for the Gentlemen of Kent.[2]
He died at Brighton, Sussex on 27 January 1849.
