Some Famous People called Philip Sankey
Philip Sankey
Philip Menzies Sankey (17 April 1830 – 9 March 1909) was an English clergyman and cricketer.
He was born at Brompton in Kensington in London in 1830, the eldest son of Richard Sankey, and educated at The King's School, Canterbury. Whilst still at school he played in a first-class cricket match for Cambridge University, playing against the Gentlemen of Kent at the St Lawrence Ground during the 1848 Canterbury Cricket Week.
Sankey went on to study at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, between 1848 and 1852. He played in three more first-class cricket matches, playing for Oxford University twice and making a single appearance for Kent County Cricket Club in 1850. His last first-class match was the 1852 University Match against Cambridge. He played in non-first-class matches for a variety of sides whilst at Oxford.
After graduating, he became a Church of England priest and was rector of Highclere in Hampshire, between 1858 and 1868. He was chaplain at Pegli in Genoa from 1869 to 1872 before moving to Montreux in Switzerland where he was minister at St John's Anglican church between 1879 and 1907. During his time at St Johns, Sankey oversaw extensive building work at the church which was expanded three times, the original building having only been completed the year before Sankey's arrival.
Sankey died in Montreux in 1909 aged 79.
