Charles Budden
Charles Budden (18 July 1879 – 26 November 1969) was an English first-class cricketer. Budden was born at Fareham in July 1879. He played first-class cricket for Hampshire in 1900, making two appearances against Warwickshire at Edgbaston, and Yorkshire at Hull.[1] A member of a weak Hampshire side which finished bottom in the County Championship,[2] Budden took 2 wickets as a fast-medium bowler,[3] though his most notable feat as a Hampshire player was his 32 not out made against Warwickshire, where he put on a 54 run partnership for the final wicket with Harry Baldwin.[2] A resident of Southampton, Budden was employed as the cricket professional for Strathmore Cricket Club in Scotland in 1902,[4] sufficiently impressing them enough to be re-engaged as their professional for the following season.[5] He returned south in 1904, where he was the professional at Exeter Cricket Club.[6] While playing for Exeter, Budden appeared in minor counties cricket for Devon in 1906, making four appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[7] He died at Winchester in November 1969.[2] References
