John Wynne (cricketer)

John Henry Griffith Wynne (31 March 1819 – 17 October 1893) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.

The son of the politician Charles Griffith-Wynne and his wife, Sarah Hildyard, he was born in March 1819 at Coleshill, Warwickshire.

He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1840, making six appearances, in addition to also making one appearance for a combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities cricket team in a tied match against the MCC in 1839.

[2] Members of All Souls automatically become fellows, however Wynne had his fellowship removed by the college warden in 1851 after perceived misconduct from Wynne after he renounced his communion with the Church of England and denied the Supremacy of the Queen in letters published in October 1850, following his conversion to the Catholic Church.

His brother, Charles, and nephew, Edward Wynne-Finch, both played first-class cricket.
