Of what title deriving from the Latin word for substitute, for what period was the title held by 1852-born English cricketer?
Vicar (Anglicanism) Vicar is the title given to certain parish priests in the Church of England. It has played a significant role in Anglican Church organisation in ways that are different from other Christian denominations. The title is very old and arises from the medieval situation where priests were appointed either by a secular lord, by a bishop or by a religious foundation. Wherever there is a vicar he shares the benefice with a rector (usually non-resident) to whom the great tithes were paid. "Vicar" derives from the Latin "vicarius" meaning a substitute.
John Sherman (cricketer) John Sherman (17 October 1788 at Crayford, Kent – 31 August 1861 at Manchester) was an English professional cricketer. His first-class career spanned a record-equalling 44 seasons from 1809 to 1852; he shares this record with W G Grace. He was the elder brother of James Sherman and the uncle of Tom Sherman.
