John Edmeads
John Edmeads was an English cricketer who played for Chertsey [Cricket Club], Surrey [county cricket team (pre-1846)|Surrey] and Rest of [England cricket teams|England].
Edmeads seems to have begun his career in the 1750s and played until 1779, making 19 known appearances from the beginning of the statistical record in 1772, by when his best years were probably behind him. He was a noted batsman and fielder.
He kept Simplemarsh Farm in the Chertsey parish; the farm was in his family for over 200 years.
