Charles Monson


Major-General Charles Monson was a British Army officer and cricketer who played club matches during the 1780s for the White Conduit Club.
Monson was the third son of John Monson, 2nd Baron Monson. He was the younger brother of cricketer George Monson and was an officer in the British Army.
Monson is recorded only once playing any form of cricket, a match for White Conduit against Kent at White Conduit Fields in June 1785. He had an outstanding game as a bowler, taking five wickets in the first innings and enabling his team to win by 304 runs. He scored 29 and 7 with the bat and took six wickets altogether with one catch.
He later rose to the rank of major-general before his death in 1800.
