Charles Monson

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 [county cricket team (pre-1843)|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.
