John Glennie
John David Glennie (18 April 1825 – 7 January 1903) was an English clergyman and educationalist who played a single first-class cricket match for Cambridge University in 1848.[1] He was born at Sandgate, Folkestone, Kent and died at Croxton, Staffordshire.
Educated at King's School, Canterbury and Christ's College, Cambridge, Glennie made little impact in his solitary first-class cricket match, which came against a team of Kent amateurs: he scored one run in his two innings and failed to take a wicket.[2] There are no records of him appearing in any other cricket matches, first-class or non-first-class.[1]
Glennie was ordained as a Church of England clergyman after leaving Cambridge, and was a church inspector of schools for some years, later recording his experiences in a book.[3] From 1869 to his death in 1903 he was the vicar of Croxton, Staffordshire.[3] His son, Reginald, was also a first-class cricketer and clergyman.
