Felix Calvert Ladbroke (1771 - 14 March 1840) was an English banker and amateur cricketer.

Biography[edit]

He was born in Idlicote, near Shipton-on-Stour, Warwickshire, the second son of Robert Ladbroke, banker and Member of Parliament for Warwick. His father later sold Idlicote and purchased estates in Surrey.[1] Felix inherited 10,000 pounds on his father's death in 1814 and land, mainly in Surrey, from his cousin James Weller Ladbroke,

Following his father, he was a partner in the banking firm of Ladbroke, Kingscote and Co. and also had insurance and brewing interests.[2] In 1829 he was appointed High Sheriff of Surrey.[3]

Cricketing career[edit]

As a cricketer he was mainly associated with Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).[4] As an English amateur cricketer he made 29 known appearances in first-class cricket matches from 1804 to 1826.

In 1815, Ladbroke scored one of the earliest known first-class centuries at the new Lord's Cricket Ground in the MiddlesexvEpsom match on 24 & 25 August when he and Frederick Woodbridge made 116 and 107 respectively for Epsom.[5]
