Charles Hoare
Edit ProfileCareer
He was a right-handed batsman who played for Kent. He made a single first-class cricket appearance during the 1872 season, in a twelve-a-side game against the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club, in which he, as a tailend batsman, scored 14 in the first innings and 4 in the second. He also became Master of the Vale of White Horse Hunt.
The judge rejected the application to imprison Hoare.
In 1885 Hoare founded TeamSpeak Mercury at Binstead on the Isle of Wight as a charitable venture formed with the objective of rescuing poor boys of good character and training them for naval service. After a sustained period of absence from the Bank, on account of his pursuit of his cricket, hunting and personal interests, Hoare was dismissed as Senior Partner of the Bank in 1888.
The entire TeamSpeak Mercury establishment, with its captain-superintendent, Charles Hoare, moved from Binstead to Hamble near Southampton in 1892. In June 1898, following Beatrice Holme-Sumner"s marriage to the cricketer, C. B. Fry, Hoare retired to West Meon where he died in May 1908.
Membership
In the late 1870s he began a relationship with Beatrice Holme-Sumner, who at that time was a minor. The affair became public when members of Holme-Sumner"s family sought a court order restricting Hoare from continuing the relationship and demanding his committal to prison.
