Darville (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer from Bray, Berkshire who played in first-class cricket during the 1740s. He is recorded playing for Berkshire teams in three single wicket matches in 1748. These matches were held at the Artillery Ground in July and August, involving leading players contesting high stakes.[1] Darville may have been a patron or match organiser as he was a millowner at Bray and engaged Thomas Waymark on contract for the 1748 matches.[2]
