Sir Charles Gerald Stewkley Shuckburgh, 12th Baronet

Sir Charles Gerald Stewkley Shuckburgh (28 February 1911 – 4 May 1988) was the 12th baronet of the Shuckburgh baronets of Shuckburgh Hall, Warwickshire. He was a first-class cricketer who played in a single match for Warwickshire in 1930.^[1] He was born at Lower Shuckburgh, Warwickshire, and died at White Colne, Colchester, Essex.

The elder son of the 11th baronet, Shuckburgh was educated at Harrow School and at Trinity College, Oxford. He was prominent in cricket at Harrow and played in the Eton v Harrow cricket match at Lord's in three seasons from 1927 to 1929 as a right-handed middle order batsman.^[1] At Oxford University, he played in the freshmen's trial match in 1930, but was not successful and did not appear in any first-class cricket for the university side. That same year, however, he played for Warwickshire in a high-scoring match against Nottinghamshire, but failed to score in his only innings.^[2]

He inherited the baronetcy from his father in 1939 and was later High Sheriff and Deputy Lieutenant for Warwickshire.
