Jonathan Rashleigh (7 January 1820 – 12 April 1905) was an English cricketer active in the early 1840s, making four appearances in first-class cricket. Born at Wilsford, Wiltshire, Rashleigh was educated at Harrow School, for whom he played cricket,[1] and at Balliol College, Oxford, matriculating 1839 and graduating 1842 on B.A.[2]
Rashleigh's batting and bowling styles are unknown. He made his debut in first-class cricket in 1841 for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at the Magdalen Ground, Oxford. He made three further first-class appearances for the university in 1842, playing twice against the MCC and once in The University Match against Oxford University at Lord's.[3] He scored a total of 42 runs with a high score of 20,[4] while with the ball he took two wickets.[5]
A member of the prominent Rashleigh family, Rashleigh was listed in 1873 as the largest landowner in Cornwall with an estate of 30,156 acres (122.04 km2) or 3.97% of the total area of Cornwall.[6] He was a Deputy Lieutenant of Cornwall.[7] He died at the Menabilly Estate on 12 April 1905.
