Charles William Middleton Kemp (26 April 1856 – 15 May 1933) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Oxford University, Kent and the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1878.[1][2] He was born in Forest Hill, London and died at Ightham, Kent.[3]
Kemp was educated at Harrow School, where he was captain of the cricket team in 1875, and at Oriel College, Oxford.[1] His first-class cricket was confined to the 1878 season, when he appeared in three Oxford University games, once playing for MCC against the Oxford team, and a single match for Kent. A right-handed lower-order batsman and a right-arm slow round-arm bowler, he had little success as batsman or bowler; in the 1878 University Match against Cambridge University, he was the not-out batsman when Oxford were dismissed in their second innings for just 32 to lose the match by 238 runs.[4]
Two of his brothers, Manley and Arthur, also played first-class cricket for Kent, and Manley, an all-round sportsman, played for and captained Oxford University too.
