Margaret Lockwood (28 March 1911 – 14 January 1999) was a women's cricket player, who played two test matches for the England women's cricket team in 1951.Lockwood was born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire on 8 March 1911.
She played for three major teams during her career in cricket: England Women, North Women, and Yorkshire Women.
Her two trials were against the Australian Women in Scarborough and then a few days later in Worcester.
She died in Leeds, Yorkshire at the age of 87 on 14 January 1999.It is perhaps a strange coincidence that there was a British actress also named Margaret Lockwood a little before Margaret Lockwood the cricket player played for England.
Even more strange, Margaret Lockwood the actress unintentionally created a piece of cricket slang that lasts to this day.
Lockwood the actress appeared in the 1945 film "The Wicked Lady" and the slang turned "wicked lady" to "wicked maiden" and finally into "wicket maiden".
