Charles Foley

Charles Windham Foley (26 August 1856 – 20 November 1933) was an English first-class cricketer and solicitor.

The son of John Foley, he was born in August 1856 at Wadhurst, Sussex. He was educated at Eton College, where he was in the cricket eleven. From Eton he went up to King's College, Cambridge. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club in 1880, making six appearances. He played in The University Match against Oxford University at Lord's, for which he gained his cricket blue. He was described by Wisden as "an average batsman". It was noted that he was a left-handed batsman until the age of 15, after which he changed to become a right-handed batsman on what Wisden described as "foolish advice".

After graduating from Cambridge, Foley became a solicitor. Foley moved to British India in 1892, where he was a partner in the law firm Morgan & Co. in Calcutta until 1919. He returned to England in his later life, where he retired to Kensington. He died there in November 1933.
