Lieutenant-General Charles Monson (1758-1800) was a British Army officer and first-class cricketer who was active in the 1780s and played for the White Conduit Club.
Monson was the second son of Lord Monson. He was the younger brother of George Henry Monson and was an officer in the British Army.[1][2]
Monson is recorded only once playing for White Conduit against a Kent team at White Conduit Fields in June 1785. He had an outstanding game as a bowler, taking five wickets (all bowled) in the first innings and enabling his team to win by 304 runs. He scored 29 and 7 with the bat and took six wickets altogether with one catch.[2]
He later rose to the rank of Lieutenant-General before his death in 1800.[3]
