The son of William Garside Phillips, the founder of the Ansley Hall Coal and Iron Company, he was born at Ansley Hall in the Warwickshire village of Ansley on 2 December 1881.[1] Phillips made his debut in first-class cricket for Warwickshire against London County in 1904 at Coventry.[2] He had to wait until 1910 for his next first-class match, which came when Warwickshire played Northamptonshire in the County Championship.[2] He made three further appearances in 1910, before playing a final first-class match in 1911 against Leicestershire.[2] He had little success as a first-class cricketer, scoring 35 runs across his six matches, with a high score of 16.[3] With the ball in hand he took just one wicket from a total of 41 overs bowled.[4]
Outside of cricket Phillips was by profession a mining engineer.[1] He married Dorothea Mary Land in 1912, with the couple having three children. Their eldest son, Joseph Anthony Moore Phillips, became a lieutenant colonel in the British Army and later became the Deputy Lieutenant of the now defunct county of Humberside,[5] Their second son, Peter William Garside Phillips, became a major in the army.[6] Both sons were highly decorated officers.[5][6] Their daughter, Dorothea Flavia Phillips, was a senior commander with the Auxiliary Territorial Service, and was awarded an MBE (Military Division) in 1943 for her service.[7] Peter's son, Mark Phillips, became a successful Olympic gold-medal-winning horseman for Great Britain, and married Anne, Princess Royal.
