Palmer was educated at Loughton School in Essex and King's College London.[2] He bowled leg-spin at medium-pace.[2] His Essex teammate Charles Bray said he was "an excellent bowler – the nearest thing I've seen to Bill O'Reilly", but added that Palmer's fielding was unreliable, "particularly his catching".[3] Palmer's best bowling figures came in Essex's victory over Gloucestershire in 1926, when he took 3 for 19 and 6 for 68.[4] Opening the bowling for Essex against the Australians in 1930, he took 5 for 40 in the first innings.[5]
