Henry Thomas Lane (17 May 1793 – 15 February 1834) was an English amateur cricketer who played during the early 19th century.
Lane was born at Marylebone in Middlesex in 1793, the son of Thomas and Mary Lane.[1] He lived at Hurstpierpoint in Sussex and was educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford, matriculating in 1811.[2] [3] Lane was a member of MCC but played mainly for West Kent. He appeared in nine first-class cricket matches between 1817 and 1827, playing for MCC as well as early Kent and Hampshire sides and played twice for the Gentlemen against the Players.[1] [3] He "failed to make any impression on the field" but was President of MCC in 1824/25 and has been described as "a well-liked character".[4]
Lane lived at Middleton House at Westmeston near Lewes in Sussex. Part of the house was designed by George Stanley Repton in 1828.[5] Lane married Jane Lambert in 1831.[1] [2] He died at Middleton in 1834 of apoplexy at the age of 40.[1] [4] [6]
