Charles Pryor (cricketer)

Charles Stuart Pryor (15 February 1815 – 4 April 1897) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for the Cambridge Town Club, Cambridge University and an England XI between 1833 and 1859.

Pryor was a right-handed batsman and a bowler, though his bowling style is not known.

In 1839, he played a single game for Cambridge University, but there is no record that he was ever a student at the university, and 23 of his first-class matches were against the university side; the same year he also appeared for "An England XI" against the Marylebone Cricket Club, but otherwise his first-class matches were all for Cambridge teams.

[1] His single game for Cambridge University was one of his more successful with the bat, as he scored 27 in each innings.

[3] Pryor's father Stephen and his son Frederick both played first-class cricket for the Cambridge Town Club; his son also played for Cambridgeshire in the period when that side's matches were sometimes rated as first-class.
