Edward Gower Wenman (18 August 1803 – 28 December 1879) was an English cricketer whose top-class career spanned the 1825 to 1854 seasons. A wicket-keeper, he was a prominent member of the great Kent teams of the 1840s which featured Nicholas Felix, William Hillyer, Alfred Mynn and Fuller Pilch. Wenman is generally remembered as one of the best wicket-keepers of the 19th century with William Martingell describing him as the best all-round cricketer of his time.^[1]
