Life

The son of Thomas Leventhorpe and Mary Collett,[1] Leventhorpe was educated at Winchester College, before attending Jesus College, Cambridge.[2]

While studying at Cambridge, Leventhorpe made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Parker's Piece in 1835.[3] In a match which the Marylebone Cricket Club won by 88 runs, he was dismissed for a duck twice, firstly by Charles Parnther in Cambridge University's first-innings, and then by John Bayley in their second-innings.[4] Leventhorpe's batting style is unknown.

After leaving Jesus College in 1839, Leventhorpe became the parish priest of a number of churches in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire. He died at Yelling, Huntingdonshire on 12 August 1860.[2]

Family

The American Civil War Confederate general Collett Leventhorpe was Leventhorpe's brother.[1]

In 1845, Leventhorpe married Louisa Rooper, daughter of John Bonfoy Rooper.[5] Rooper Leventhorpe (1850–1940) was their son.[6]
