Graham Stokes (22 March 1858 – 19 December 1921) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Kent County Cricket Club in the early 1880s.[1]
Stokes was born at Greenwich in Kent, the son of Henry Graham Stokes, Proctor to the Admiralty[2] and solicitor, and his wife Elizabeth Sewell. He made his first-class debut for Kent against Surrey in 1880. He made three further first-class appearances in 1851, against Derbyshire, Lancashire, and Surrey.[3] Stokes scored 39 runs in his four matches, with a top score of 27.[4]
Outside of cricket he worked as a solicitor.[5] He died at Blackheath, in London on 19 December 1921. His brothers Frederick and Lennard both played international rugby union for England, as well as also playing first-class cricket for Kent.[5]
