Reynell Cotton
The Reverend Reynell Cotton (1717–1779) was President of the Hambledon Club in 1773 and 1774. It is not known if he played in any of the first-class cricket matches organised by the club on behalf of Hampshire cricket, but he is believed to have been an active player in the period before records were consistently maintained.[1]
He is believed to have been a schoolmaster in Winchester.[1]
Cotton is best known for his Hambledon Club Song,[2] written in about the 1771 season.
