Arthur Fitch Kemp (1 August 1863 – 14 February 1940) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket in the mid-1880s for Kent, the Marylebone Cricket Club and other amateur teams.[1] He was born at Forest Hill, London and died at his home at Wentworth, Virginia Water, Surrey.[2]
Kemp was educated at Harrow School where he was captain of the cricket team in 1881. He appeared in one of the four first-class matches played by the Orleans Club at Twickenham, the game against Cambridge University in 1883; he then played three times for Kent in 1884 and once for MCC against Kent in 1885.[1] Kemp also won the public schools rackets championship in 1881.[3]
Two of his brothers, Charles and Manley, also played first-class cricket for Kent, and they both played for Oxford University too.
