Harry Gleaves Few JP (8 September 1848 – 9 April 1931) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Edward Few, he was born at the Cambridgeshire village of Willingham in September 1848. [2] He played first-class cricket for Cambridgeshire, making his debut aged 17 against Cambridge University at Fenner's in 1866. [1] He had success in this match, taking a five wicket haul in the Cambridge University first innings with figures of 5 for 72 with his left-arm roundarm medium bowling. [3] He made a second first-class match in the same season against Nottinghamshire, but did not appear for Cambridgeshire after. [4] Across these two matches, he took 8 wickets at an average of 21.25. [5] It was noted by Fred Lillywhite that Few generally fielded at slip or point. [1]
Outside of cricket, Few was a merchant at Willingham and was a member of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society. [1] [6] He was a justice of the peace for Cambridgeshire by 1912. [7] He lived in a house built for him at 12 Grange Road and originally called "Berrycroft" (in 2023, the site was purchased by Cambridge University's Queens' College, to be used as student accommodation). [8] Few died aged 82 in April 1931, following a period of long ill health. [9]
