Early Life
Edward William Bastard was born in Wilton, a parish just outside Taunton, the second son of Henry Horlock Bastard. He was educated at Sherborne School, and played for the school cricket team. Although he was later known as a bowler, Bastard occasionally opened the batting for the school, as he did against Clifton College in 1881. During his time at Sherborne, he also played some games for Dorset.
