The son of John Bainbrigge Story senior, he was born in July 1812 at Woodborough, Nottinghamshire. He was educated at Eton College, before going up to Corpus Christi College, Oxford.[1] After graduating from Oxford, Story enlisted in the Leicestershire Yeomanry as a cornet in January 1832,[2] with promotion to the rank of lieutenant in September 1835.[3] He served as the High Sheriff of Leicestershire in 1842.[4] Story made his debut in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of the North against the Gentlemen of the South in 1858, making a total of four appearances in the fixture to 1861.[5] Besides his brief first-class career, Story had a long association with Derbyshire prior to the formation of Derbyshire County Cricket Club. He ended his military career with the Leicestershire Yeomanry as a major,[6] in addition to serving as a justice of the peace. He died at his home at Lockington Hall in January 1872 and was survived by his wife, whom he had married in 1833.[7] His nephew, William Story, also played first-class cricket.
