About Percy Vasey
- Percy Walter Vasey (29 July 1883 – 11 September 1952) played first-class cricket in one match for Somerset in the 1913 season.
- In the 1900s, he had played Minor Counties cricket for Hertfordshire.
- He was born at Highbury, London and died at Upton Hellions, Crediton, Devon. Educated at the Merchant Taylors' School, Vasey became a schoolmaster at King's School, Bruton.
- Unusually to modern eyes, he was a successful member of the school hockey and cricket teams and a reproduction in 2008 of the 1908 edition of The Dolphin, the King's Bruton school magazine, shows a fair-haired mustachioed man as a member of both the unbeaten football team and as a gown-wearing teacher in the school photograph.
- Vasey returned to King's Bruton as a master after the First World War and was a housemaster.As a cricketer, Vasey was a right-handed middle-order batsman and a right-arm slow bowler, though he did not bowl in either Minor Counties or first-class cricket.
- He played twice for Hertfordshire in 1906, making 31 in the innings victory over Oxfordshire.
- In minor cricket in 1911, he scored 282 for the Old Brutonians team against Sidmouth, sharing a second wicket partnership of 396 with Harold Hippisley, who made 150.
- His one first-class match came in 1913, and he made 10 and 3 in the match against Yorkshire at Bath, in which Hippisley also played.
- As late as 1931 he was playing for Old Brutonians in club matches. Vasey served in the First World War with the Dorset Regiment; he was transferred from active service to the Ministry of National Service in 1917 with the rank of Captain.
