Charles Baldwin (29 December 1864 – 2 May 1947) was an English cricketer. He played 80 first-class matches for Surrey between 1892 and 1898.[1] In 1897 he scored 234 against Kent.[2] According to his obituary in Wisden, he was short and thickset, and a stylish batsman, who scored 1,137 runs in the County Championship in his best season of 1897.[3] During his playing career with Surrey, he was known to umpire in first-class matches, doing so on three occasions; he would later umpire in a further three first-class matches following the end of his playing career with Surrey.[4] He played minor counties cricket for his home county, Suffolk, in the 1904 Minor Counties Championship, making two appearances.[5] After his playing career, he was a successful coach at Uppingham School for seventeen years. When the Surrey scorer died in 1927, he took over the position for a while.[3]
