Leonard Gibbard Stileman-Gibbard born Leonard Gibbard Stileman (22 June 1856 – 19 September 1939) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Major-General William Stileman, he was born in British India at Bombay in June 1856.[1] He was educated in Britain at the Abderdeen Gymnasium and Brighton College, before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] He succeeded his uncle, John Gibbard at Sharnbrook House in 1871, assuming the additional name of Gibbard in 1878.[1] He made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the South against the touring Australians at Hastings in 1886.[2] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed in the South's first-innings for 46 runs by George Giffen, while in their second-innings he was dismissed by the same bowler for 9 runs.[3] From November 1890 he served as a justice of the peace for Bedfordshire. He played minor counties cricket for Bedfordshire from 1901 - 05, making thirteen appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[4] He was made a deputy lieutenant for Bedfordshire in March 1906. He served as a deputy lieutenant until January 1939, when he resigned his commission. He died at Sharnbrook in September 1939. He was the brother of Harry Stileman and Charles Stileman.
