John Freemantle

John Freemantle

John Freemantle (born 1758, probably at Bishop Sutton, Hampshire; died 3 August 1831 at Alresford, Hampshire) was an English cricketer who played for the legendary Hambledon Club.

John Freemantle was the elder brother of the more famous Andrew Freemantle. He had only a short first-class career from the 1780 season until 1782, playing seven times for Hampshire. It is possible he gave up playing early due to injury [http://www.jl.sl.btinternet.co.uk/stampsite/cricket/main.html From Lads to Lord's; The History of Cricket: 1300–1787] ] .

Freemantle was primarily a bowler and in "Scores & Biographies", it is said that he was "tolerably fast". He was a useful batsman but it is said that when fielding he "never flinched from the ball". Arthur Haygarth, "Scores & Biographies", Volume 1 (1744-1826), Lillywhite, 1862]
