Charles Marriott (14 October 1848 – 9 July 1918) was an English first-class cricketer and barrister.
The son of the Reverend James Powell Marriott, he was born at Cotesbach in October 1848. Marriott was educated at Winchester College,[1] before going up to Brasenose College, Oxford. While at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Gentlemen of England at Oxford in 1870. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1871, making seven appearances.[2]
After graduating from Oxford, he continued to play first-class cricket, playing for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the Gentlemen of England regularly from 1872 - 75, which also included playing for the Gentlemen of the Marylebone Cricket Club against Kent in 1873.[2]
A student of the Inner Temple, Marriott was called to the bar in 1875.[3] His duties as a barrister reduced his participation in first-class cricket, with Marriott making one appearance in 1877 and two in 1879 for I Zingari.[2] Marriott served as the High Sheriff of Leicestershire in 1878.[3] His final appearances in first-class cricket came in 1882, when he appeared five times, including playing for an England XI against the touring Australians, and making two appearances for I Zingari against Yorkshire and the Australians at the Scarborough Festival.[2] In 31 first-class matches, Marriott scored 631 runs at an average of 14.27, with a high score of 48.[4]
In addition to playing first-class cricket, Marriott played minor matches for Leicestershire from 1872 - 87, prior to their elevation to first-class status. He served as club president on three occasions. In his later years he served several times on the committee of the MCC.[5] Outside of cricket and his legal profession, he also served in the Leicestershire Yeomanry from 1873 - 83, reaching the rank of captain.[3] He died at Cotesbach in July 1918.
Marriott married, firstly in 1880, Marion (or Marian) Frances Fellowes, daughter of Robert Fellowes of Shotesham Park.[6] They had three children, Evelyn Mary, born 1880, and twins Charles Henry and Violet Ann, born 1882. Marion died on 20 December 1882.[7] #
Marriott married, secondly in 1891, Mary Emily Peach, daughter of the Rev. Charles Pierrepont Peach. They had seven sons and one daughter.[7]
His brother George, and grandsons, Peter Scott and Robert Scott, all played first-class cricket.[8]
