The Reverend Henry Giles Alington (25 July 1837 – 2 December 1928) was an English clergyman and cricketer.
Born at Candlesby, Lincolnshire, to the Reverend John Alington and Charlotte Bellingham, he was educated at Rugby School and Magdalen College, Oxford.
[1][2] His father came from a long line of clerics, a branch of the landed gentry Alington family of Little Barford Manor House, St Neots, Huntingdonshire, and was descended from the Alingtons of Horseheath, an ancient Cambridgeshire family, from which also descended the Barons Alington.
Their son Cyril Alington was known as an educationalist, scholar, cleric, and author.
[6] His brother Herbert Alington, as well as his brother-in-law Clement Booth, were both first-class cricketers.
