Richard Clement (10 June 1832 – 29 October 1873) was an English first-class cricketer and treasury clerk.

Life

Richard Clement was born on 10 June 1832 at Cabbage Tree Hall (which was later renamed Alleynedale Hall) on Saint Peter, Barbados,^[1] to Hampden Clement (14 April 1807 – 4 February 1880), who was an English landowner of Exeter College, Oxford, and Philippa Cobham Alleyne, who was the daughter of Sir Reynold Abel Alleyne, 2nd Baronet (1789 – 1870). Richard had three siblings: Reynold Clement (1834 - 1905), Rosalie Philippa Hampden Clement (1838 - 1912), and Helena Rebecca Clement (1853 - 1935).^[1]

Richard's paternal grandfather was the landowner Richard Clement (1753 - 1829) whose English residence was 13 Bolton Street, Mayfair.^[2] Reynold was the nephew of Martha who was the wife of Colonel Thomas Moody, Kt.,^[2] who named his son Hampden Clement Blamire Moody after Clement's father.^[3]

He was raised at Snarestone Lodge at Snarestone, Leicestershire, England, and was educated at Rugby School,^[4] and at University College, Oxford,^[5] whilst at which he in 1853 appeared twice in first-class cricket for Oxford University, once against the Marylebone Cricket Club and once against Cambridge University.^[6]

Richard was employed as a clerk at the Treasury until he died, without either marriage or issue, after falling off his horse during a hunt near Bicester on 29 October 1873, when he was aged 41.^[4]
