Francis Lyndon Evelyn (24 May 1859 – 8 December 1910) was a Welsh first-class cricketer.
The son of Francis Evelyn senior, he was born at Presteigne in May 1859. He was educated at Rugby School,[1] before going up to Oriel College, Oxford. While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1880 and 1881, making five appearances.[2] He struggled as a batsman in his five matches, scoring just 33 runs with a high score of 10.[3]
After graduating from Oxford, Evelyn was commissioned into the Herefordshire Light Infantry as a second lieutenant in December 1880. By 1884, he was serving in the Shropshire Light Infantry as a lieutenant, resigning his commission in April 1884. Evelyn served as a deputy lieutenant for Herefordshire in 1885, before serving as the High Sheriff of Radnorshire in 1887. He also served as a justice of the peace for Radnorshire.[1] Evelyn died in December 1910 at Kinsham, Herefordshire. His youngest brother was the Welsh football international Edward Evelyn, while his middle brother was the historian William Arthur Evelyn.
