Crawte was born in Surrey and christened at Frensham in December 1763.[2] He is known to have lived in the Alresford area of Hampshire and played for Alresford Cricket Club before he was persuaded to move to Kent by Stephen Amherst, a major patron of Kent matches, towards the end of the 18th century.[3][4]
Crawte was considered a fine batsman who played David Harris, the best bowler of the era, better than any other player.[3] He played in a total of 57 matches which are now considered to have first-class status between 1788 and 1803.[2][5] He played 15 times in first-class matches for England sides,Template:Efn 14 for Surrey sides and 13 times for Kent teams as well as for combined teams and those organised by Kent patrons, including Richard Leigh and the Earl of Winchilsea. He continued to play non-first-class cricket for Kent sides, including for Rochester, into the early 1800s.[2]
Crawte died in October 1836 at Boxley in Kent.[2][5]
