Edward Hussey (3 November 1749 – 4 July 1816) was an English landowner and sportsman who played cricket towards the end of the 18th-century.
He owned Scotney Castle on the border between Kent and Sussex, served as a magistrate and was a member of the Society of Royal Kentish Bowmen.
[8] He was a member of the White Conduit Club before it effectively became the MCC in 1787[10] and played in a total of 18 matches which are considered to hold first-class cricket status.
[7] In 1778 Hussey purchased Scotney Castle, close to Lamberhurst on the border between Kent and Sussex and adjoining both of his other properties.
Hussey lived in the property until his death, re-establishing the parkland surrounding the castle by purchasing the land which had been previously sold as it became available.
[4][7][15] The property was extensively redeveloped by his grandson, Edward Hussey III, during the mid-19th century and a new house built on the estate.
