Godfrey Acheson Thornhagh Foljambe (21 October 1869 – 16 March 1942) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Francis Foljambe and his wife, Gertrude Emily Acheson, Foljambe was born at Marylebone in October 1869.[1] He was educated at Eton College, before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1892.[2] He made his debut in first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Cambridge University at Fenner's in 1892.[3] He toured Ceylon and India with Lord Hawke's XI in 1892–93, making three first-class appearances on the tour.[3] He made his final first-class appearance in May 1893 for the MCC against Cambridge University.[3] In his five first-class matches, Foljambe scored 97 runs with a high score of 34. With his left-arm medium pace bowling, he took 9 wickets at an average of 16.11, with best figures of 4 for 32.[4] In addition to playing first-class cricket, he also played minor counties cricket for Cambridgeshire in 1899, making a single appearance in the Minor Counties Championship.[5]
He later served as a justice of the peace for Herefordshire. Foljambe died in March 1942 at Lizard, Cornwall.[2] He was married to Judith Frances Wright, the daughter of FitzHerbert Wright.[1] His brother George was also a first-class cricketer, as were his uncles Edward Acheson and Lord Acheson.
