William Walker Pulman (14 November 1852 – 22 August 1936) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.
The son of William Walker Pulman senior, he was born in November 1852 at Wellington, Somerset. He was educated at Marlborough College,[1] before going up to St John's College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford in 1874. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1875, making ten appearances, which included two appearances in The University Match against Cambridge.[3] He scored 271 runs in his ten matches, at an average of 18.06 and with a high score of 46.[4] He was described by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack as “a free hitting batsman with sound style and could field with distinction anywhere”.[5]
After graduating from Oxford, Pulman took holy orders in the Church of England. He held various curacies from 1876 to 1885,[2] before becoming the rector of Westborough, Lincolnshire in 1885. He returned to his native Wellington in 1889 to become vicar there.[1] It was there that Pulman died in August 1936.[5]
