Tom Peake (c.1720–1767) was a noted English cricketer of the mid-18th century. He is believed to have come from Chelsfield in Kent and is known to have lived there and at nearby Orpington.[1]
It is possible that he played for Dartford, which was a leading club at the time, as well as for Kent county cricket teams and All-England.[1]
Peake was first recorded as a given man playing for Addington against the London Cricket Club in 1743, a game that Addington won by an innings.[2]
The last documented mention of Peake is six years later in June 1749 when he played for Stephen Dingate's XI in a major challenge match against Robert Colchin's XI at the Artillery Ground.[2]
