Edward Tredcroft
Edward Tredcroft (15 December 1828 – 8 April 1888) was an English landowner from Sussex and a cricketer. He played for Sussex in first-class cricket from 1851 to 1865, taking part in 53 matches as a right-handed batsman who bowled slow underarm. He scored 759 runs, with a top score of 44 not out, and took 11 wickets, with his best of three in one innings. His own cricket ground hosted first-class games.
Born in the parish of Horsham, he was the elder son of Henry Tredcroft, a Sussex landowner, and Mary Crew. After his father’s death, he inherited the Warnham Court estate, and his mother remarried later.
In 1850 he married Theodosia Sophia Bligh. They had two children who reached adulthood: Theodosia Isabella Tredcroft (1851–1924), who married Dennis Lambart Higgins and had twelve children, and Henry Edward Tredcroft (1853–1912), who married Mabel Lucy Ann Sarah Pigott and had nine children.
Edward Tredcroft died in Westminster and was buried at Horsham; his half-sister Sophia was his executor.
