Life

Marsham was born at Merton College, Oxford, the son of Robert Bullock Marsham, the Warden of Merton, and a member of the extended family of the Earl of Romney. His brothers C. D. B. Marsham and Charles Marsham were also cricketers.

Primarily a bowler, Marsham took 35 wickets with his slow-medium roundarm deliveries.[1] His greatest achievement was to bowl MCC to victory against a much stronger Surrey side in 1859, where he took twelve wickets in the match.[2][3] He made many appearances for I Zingari, and also turned out for England against Kent in 1860.[2]

Like his brothers, Marsham studied at Merton College. After graduating at Oxford he studied law, and was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1860. He was recorder of Maidstone 1868–79 and was also a magistrate.[4] He died in Canterbury in 1913.

gollark: It seems like AMD could have done a much better job than they did, though.
gollark: DRAM is what regular RAM sticks use: it uses a lot of capacitors to store data, which is cheap but high-latency to do anything with, and requires refreshing constantly. SRAM is just a bunch of transistors arranged to store data: it is very fast and low-power, but expensive because you need much more room for all the transistors.
gollark: They say they have 200 MB of SRAM on each (16nm) chip. That sounds hilariously expensive.
gollark: It's cool that they have a Vulkan-based version instead of just supporting CUDA only.
