The son of Thomas Holmes Bosworth, he was born in October 1825 at Westerham, Kent. He was educated at Charterhouse School,[1] before matriculating to Christ Church, Oxford. However, Bosworth did not gain his bachelors degree from Christ Church, instead graduating from Merton College, Oxford in 1849.[2] In the year of his graduation, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of Kent against the Gentlemen of England at Canterbury in 1849.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 2 runs in the Gentlemen of Kent first innings by Sir Frederick Hervey-Bathurst, while in their second innings he was dismissed without scoring by Harvey Fellows.[4]

A member of Lincoln's Inn from 1850, he completed his masters degree at Wadham College, Oxford in 1853 and in the same year he was called to the bar.[2] Bosworth died in France at Pau in February 1867.[1]
