The son of Robert Brandt, he was born at Salford in August 1828.[1] He was educated at Rugby School, before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge. While studying at Trinity, he took part in The Boat Race of 1852, in addition to gaining a rowing blue. After leaving Cambridge, Brandt was ordained in the Church of England and served as the canon of St Paul's, Bedford from 1852–54.[1] In 1854, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Manchester against Sheffield at the Botanical Gardens, Manchester.[2] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 13 runs in Manchester's first-innings by John Berry, while in their second-innings he was dismissed 7 runs by E. B. Kaye.[3] He was a priest at Ely in 1854, before serving as the rector of Burrough on the Hill, Leicestershire from 1855–73 and from 1873–83, he was the vicar of Elworth, Cheshire.[1] Brandt later retired to Cockington in Devon, where he died in March 1898.[n 1]
