Robert Marsham (cricketer)

Robert Henry Bullock Marsham (3 September 1833 – 5 April 1913) was an English barrister and magistrate, known also as a cricketer, who made appearances for Oxford University and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).

Marsham was born at Merton College, Oxford, the son of Robert Bullock Marsham, the Warden of Merton, and a member of the extended family of the Earl of Romney.

Primarily a bowler, Marsham took 35 wickets with his slow-medium roundarm deliveries.

After graduating at Oxford he studied law, and was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1860.
