Charles Dashwood Goldie (26 March 1825 – 11 January 1886) was an English clergyman who played first-class cricket for Cambridge University fleetingly in 1846.
[1] Goldie was born in Paris, France and baptised on 25 April 1825 in St Marylebone Parish Church, London.
[3] Goldie graduated from Cambridge University in 1847 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and was ordained as a priest in the Church of England.
[3] He was priest in charge at High Toynton, Lincolnshire in 1851 and then from 1852 to 1866 he had the same position at St Thomas's Church, Colnbrook, Buckinghamshire.
[3] Goldie's tenure at St Ives was controversial and his "ritualistic proceedings" alienated many of the congregation; he also attempted to impose church rates and was consistently and successfully opposed on that and on his candidates for the post of churchwarden in "stormy" parish meetings that attracted hundreds of people.
