Norris was educated at Eton College and at Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] Norris was a regular cricket player as a middle-order batsman in the first team at Eton, appearing in the Eton v Harrow match in both 1848 and 1849.[1] At Cambridge, he had only one match for the first eleven, but that was the University Match of 1851 against Oxford University, when he batted at No 10 and scored 12 runs in his only innings.[4] After this match, he played only in minor cricket.
^Norris's death is given as 1899 in CricketArchive, but other sources give 1889, and a notice in The Times in 1890 of his daughter's marriage refers to him as "The late Rev. W. A. Norris", which appears conclusive.[1][2][3]
