Jonathan Rashleigh (7 January 1820 – 12 April 1905) was an English landowner, local politician, and collector and numismatist of some repute.
Rashleigh was educated at Harrow School, for which he played cricket,[2] and at Balliol College, Oxford, matriculating 1839 and graduating B.A.
Rashleigh appears to have lived as a gentleman of leisure, dedicating his time in part to his interest in numismatics.
[4] Once at Menabilly, Jonathan Rashleigh turned his attention to botany and horticulture, notably by developing the estate gardens.
He served as Deputy Lieutenant of Cornwall, was its High Sheriff in 1877, and was a county magistrate.
