Lewis Cyril Ashby Newnham (13 September 1881 – 20 November 1932) was a South African cricketer. He played in two first-class matches in 1903/04 and 1920/21.[1][2]
Newnham was a left-handed batsman and left-arm bowler.[1] In his second first-class match, 17 years after his first, he took 3 for 14 off 9 overs in the second innings to help Transvaal to an innings victory over Orange Free State in the 1920-21 Currie Cup.[3] At the age of 43 he scored 58, the highest score on either side in the two-day match, for a Pretoria side against S. B. Joel's XI, an team consisting largely of English Test cricketers, in November 1924.[4][5][6]
Newnham was educated at Cranleigh School in England.[1] He served as an officer in the Cape Corps in World War I.[7] He married Constance Vera Lofthouse in Pretoria in March 1910; they had several children.[8]
