Robert Hugh Priestley (23 November 1911 - 30 November 2007) was an English first-class cricketer.
Priestly was born at Maida Vale to Hugh Priestley and his wife, Elizabeth Grainger Hall. He was educated at Winchester College.[1] He made one appearance in first-class cricket for the Free Foresters against Cambridge University at Cambridge in 1932.[2] Batting twice in the match, Priestley was dismissed without scoring by Rodney Rought-Rought in the Free Forester's first-innings, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by the same bowler for 16 runs.[3]
He married Mary Hermia, daughter of Sir George Menteth Boughey, 9th Bt in 1935,[4] with the couple having three children.[5] He died one week after his 96th birthday in November 2007 at Oakley, Hampshire.[5]
