Thomas Gunston Calhoun (1795 – 6 September 1861) was an English clergyman who played a single first-class cricket match for a Kent XI in 1827.
Calhoun was at Chichester in Sussex in 1795, the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Calhoun. His father was a "substantial" landowner from the Southampton area of Hampshire and Calhoun was educated at the University of Oxford.[1] [2] He matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford in 1813 and graduated from Magdalen College in 1817.[2] After graduating, he entered the Church of England, serving as curate at Ferring near Brighton in 1827 and was later vicar of Goring-by-Sea and Upper Beeding.[1] [2] He was elected as a Fellow of Magdalen.[3]
Calhoun made a single first-class appearance for a Kent side in 1827, playing against a Sussex XI at the Royal New Ground at Brighton.[4] This is the only cricket match he is known to have played in and he was probably a late replacement for a missing player in the match.[1] He scored a single run in the two innings in which he batted.[5]
Calhoun died at Goring-by-Sea in 1861.[5]
