John Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, 17th Baron Saye and Sele (28 February 1830 – 8 October 1907) was an English peer and first-class cricketer.
The son of Frederick Fiennes,[1] he was born in February 1830 at Adlestrop, Gloucestershire. He was educated at Harrow School,[2] before matriculating at Christ Church, Oxford in 1849. He later played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club from 1850 to 1852, making five appearances.[3] Fiennes scored 33 runs in his five matches, with a high score of 11 not out.[4]
In June 1852, he was appointed a deputy lieutenant for Oxfordshire. Fiennes also served in the army with the Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars, enlisting in 1852 as a cornet. He was promoted to lieutenant in April 1858 and captain in April 1860. He succeeded his father as 17th Baron Saye and Sele upon his death in May 1887.[1] Fiennes was later present at the Coronation of Edward VII at Westminster Abbey in 1902. Among the offices was a county alderman and justice of the peace for Oxfordshire, in addition to being a justice of the peace for Warwickshire, Middlesex and Westminster.[2] Fiennes died in October 1907 at Broughton, Oxfordshire. He was succeeded as Baron Saye and Sele by his son, Geoffrey Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes.
