Flamson was born and died at Heather, Leicestershire.Flamson was a right-arm medium-fast bowler and a right-handed tail-end batsman. He appeared in a couple of first-class matches in the 1934 season but made little impression, and did not return until 1937 when he was taken on to the Leicestershire full-time staff, and won praise from Wisden Cricketers' Almanack. In what it termed one of Leicestershire's worst ever seasons, it wrote, \"probably the only satisfactory feature of the bowling was the advance of Flamson, who in his first full season of county cricket, accomplished some splendid performances\". It went on: \"He developed as the season progressed and towards the close often carried the attack on his shoulders.

Against Nottinghamshire in his second match of the season he took seven first innings wickets for 46 runs and these remained the best figures of his career.
