Frederick John Champion de Crespigny (12 December 1822 – 25 June 1887) was a vicar of Hampton Wick and first-class cricketer who played between 1843 and 1851 for Nottinghamshire.

[1][2][3] Champion de Crespigny was born on 12 December 1822 at Hill Hall in Theydon Mount, near Epping, Essex.

[6][7] At the age of 40, de Crespigny was elected Clerk of the Hampton Wick Local Board shortly after its creation in 1863.

He had been considered for the position of Chairman until Sir Thomas James Nelson JP, Solicitor to the Board, elected at his place Philip May, Proprietor of Houses, to avoid a conflict of interest with the Parish.

Incidentally, he was a supporter and chaplain of the local lodge of Freemasons and the Kingston Division of the Fifth Surrey Rifle Volunteers.
