George Henry Monson

George Henry Monson

The Honourable George Henry Monson (17 October 1755 – 17 June 1823) was a noted English amateur cricketer whose known first-class career included 13 matches from the 1785 to the 1792 season. Monson, who was a useful batsman, belonged to the famous Hornchurch Club that was at the time representative of Essex and he was also an early member of Marylebone Cricket Club.

GH Monson was the elder brother of the enigmatic Captain Charles Monson (born 11 March 1758; details of death unknown) who made a single known appearance for the White Conduit Club in the 1785 season. Captain Monson did very well with his bowling in that match, taking five wickets (all bowled) in the first innings, but apparently he never appeared again. It is safe to assume that he was in either the military or the navy.
