Thomas Skeeles Fryer (30 June 1793 — 1 September 1861) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Daniel Dryer and Elizabeth Skeeles, he was born at Chatteris in June 1793.[1] By profession, he was a brewer and later a brickmaker.[2] Fryer was appointed Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire in January 1826. He had a keen interest in cricket and was president of Chatteris Cricket Club; during his presidency the club was ambitious and engaged many of the leading Cambridgeshire cricketers of the time, including Daniel Hayward, Robert Glasscock and Francis Fenner.[3] Fryer himself played first-class cricket for Cambridge Town Club twice against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1832. The first of these was played at Lord's, while the second was played at Chatteris.[4] However, Fryer failed to score any runs in the two innings in which he batted.[5] In later life he was a deputy lieutenant for Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, and was additionally a justice of the peace for the two counties.[6] In August 1859, he was declared bankrupt.[2] Fryer died in September 1861 at Hemingford Abbots, Huntingdonshire.[6]
