Charles Thornton (cricketer)
Charles Inglis Thornton (20 March 1850–10 December 1929) was an English cricketer who played more than 200 first-class matches in the later 19th century, for no fewer than 22 different teams.[1] He was also the founder of the Scarborough Festival.[2] His own private team — C. I. Thornton's XI — played most of their early games at Fenner's, but after his retirement from playing in 1897 their home became Scarborough, where they continued to play first-class cricket until 1929, the year of Thornton's death.
Thornton was born in Llanwarne, Herefordshire, and died aged 79 in Marylebone, London.
