Charles Shawe (15 November 1878 – 9 February 1951) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Henry Cunliffe Shawe and his wife, Georgina Wilmot Gresley, he was born at Weddington Hall in Warwickshire.[1] Shawe attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, graduating into the Rifle Brigade as a second lieutenant in 1898. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in April 1900,[2] with promotion to the rank of captain coming in April 1904.[3] He was seconded for service as aide-de-camp to General Lyttelton in May 1908.[4] He later served as the aide-de-camp to Arthur Foljambe, 2nd Earl of Liverpool in November 1912.[5] He retired from active service in November 1913, at which point he was transferred to the Reserve of Officers.[6] Shawe returned to active service during the First World War, serving on the general staff.[7]
Shawe later made a single appearance in first-class cricket for H. D. G. Leveson Gower's XI against Oxford University at Eastbourne in 1919.[8] Batting once in the match, Shawe was dismissed without scoring in the H. D. G. Leveson Gower's XI first-innings by Frederic Waldock, while in the Oxford second-innings he bowled two overs, which conceded 32 runs.[9] He died in February 1951 at Witham Friary, Somerset.
