Charles Luxton
Charles Henry Luxton (19 January 1861 – 17 October 1918) was an English clergyman and a cricketer who played in two first-class cricket matches for Cambridge University in 1881 and 1882.[1] He was born at Bondleigh, Devon and died at St Pancras, London.
Luxton was educated at Devon County School, West Buckland and at Peterhouse, Cambridge.[2] In his two first-class cricket games, he was a tail-end batsman and a bowler, and neither his batting nor his bowling style are known; he made little impression in either game.[1] In minor cricket, he played for Devon and other amateur sides through to the mid 1880s.
Luxton graduated from Cambridge University in 1883 and was ordained as a priest in the Church of England.[2] He was curate at Lifton, Devon and Milverton in Somerset before becoming the vicar of Langford Budville, Somerset in 1894, where he remained until his death.[2]
