James Gordon Crowdy (2 July 1847 – 16 December 1918) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.
Life and first-class cricket
The son of George Frederick Crowdy, he was born in July 1847 at Highworth, Wiltshire. He was educated at Rugby School,[1] where he played for the school cricket team.[2] From Rugby, he matriculated to Wadham College, Oxford.[3] After graduating from Oxford, he was appointed a minor canon at Winchester Cathedral in 1872, a post he held until 1890.[1] In the same year as his appointment at Winchester, Crowdy made his debut in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Oxford University at Oxford. He later played county cricket for Hampshire on six occasions between 1875 and 1884.[4] In seven first-class matches, he scored 112 runs at an average of 9.33, with a highest score of 21.[5] Commenting in Scores and Biographies, Arthur Haygarth noted that Crowdy was "a good hitter and field generally at point or cover-point".[6]
Crowdy was later appointed rector of Sherfield on Loddon in 1890, alongside being an honorary canon and precentor at Winchester Cathedral.[1] He held the rectorship at Sherfield until 1912. He died at Winchester in December 1918,[7][2] with a memorial to him being erected on the wall inside Winchester Cathedral.
