Colonel '''Henry Hervey Aston''' (1759 – 23 December 1798) was an English [[cricket]]er who played for the [[Hambledon Club]]. He was at different times a member of both the Hambledon Club and [[Marylebone Cricket Club]] (MCC). A useful batsman, Aston made 13 known first-class appearances from 1786 to 1793 when his military duties took precedence.<br />
<br />
In December 1793, Aston obtained a Lieutenant-colonelcy in the [[12th Foot]] and afterwards went to [[Madras]] where in 1798 he fought a duel with Major Picton. Both fired into the air. Next day, in another duel, he was wounded by a new adversary, Major Allen, and after languishing about a week, he died on 23 December 1798.<br />
