About Eliot Bromley-Martin
- Major Eliot George Bromley-Martin (2 October 1866 – 23 January 1946) was an English first-class cricketer: a right-handed batsman and right-arm slow bowler who played for Worcestershire County Cricket Club in the late 19th century.
- He was born in Callow End, Worcestershire, and was educated at Eton and New College, Oxford.
- He played in a trial match for Oxford University but did not appear in any first-class games for the team. In the 1890s, Bromley-Martin was Honorary Secretary of Worcestershire as well as playing for the club in the Minor Counties Championship, a title Worcestershire won (singly or jointly) every year between 1895 and 1898.
- In 1899 the county was granted first-class status, and Bromley-Martin played nine times for them that year, his best bowling figures (and indeed the best of his first-class career) being the 4-33 he took against Yorkshire in Worcestershire's very first County Championship game. Bromley-Martin played three games in 1900, one for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), but made no further first-class appearances thereafter.
- His brother Granville also played for Worcestershire, whilst his nephew Douglas Holland-Martin made two first-class appearances for the Royal Navy in 1928. Bromley-Martin was commissioned in the Worcestershire Yeomanry in 1891 but resigned his commission in 1897 after being promoted to Lieutenant.
- He was a Deputy Lieutenant for the county of Worcestershire from 1896.
- At the outbreak of World War I he returned to the Army with the temporary rank of Major, later confirmed as a substantive rank.
- After the war he resigned his commission again and retained the rank of Major.
- He died in Walton, Radnorshire, Wales, at the age of 79.
