Henry Boden (13 February 1836 – 13 November 1908) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Henry and Ann Boden, he was born at Derby in February 1836 and was educated at Rugby School.[1] He was in business as a lace magnet in Derby, where he was a partner in Boden and Company Limited.[2] He made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of the North against the Gentlemen of the South at 1861 at Nottingham.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 2 runs in the Gentlemen of the North first-innings by Edward Hartnell, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 6 runs by Frederick Miller.[4] He organised the 1862 meeting between the two sides and would have played, had the death of his father not prevented him from doing so.[5] He married Mary Shuttleworth in May 1866,[6] with the couple having seven children. Boden was present with his brother Walter at the inaugural meeting of Derbyshire County Cricket Club in November 1870 and can be considered a founding member.[7] He also served as a deputy lieutenant and justice of the peace for Derbyshire.[1] Boden died at Marylebone in November 1908. His grandson, Timothy Boden, was also a first-class cricketer, while his great-nephew, Johnnie Clay, played Test cricket for England.
