Henry Frere

Henry Tobias Frere (27 September 1830 – 15 August 1881) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of Tobias Frere, he was born at Odiham in September 1830. Frere made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against an All England Eleven at Southampton in 1850. Five years passed before his next appearance in first-class cricket, which came for the Gentlemen of England against the Marylebone Cricket Club. He featured regularly for Gentlemen sides in the late 1850s, including playing in the Gentlemen v Players fixture. In 1864, he played for the nascent Hampshire County Cricket Club in their inaugural first-class match, played against Sussex at Southampton; he would play for Hampshire until 1866, making five further appearances. Considered a 'crack shot', Frere died in August 1881 at Westbourne, Sussex.
