Edward Lyon Fellowes (23 April 1845 – 23 July 1896) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.
The son of Thomas Lyon Fellowes, he was born in April 1845 at Beighton, Norfolk. He was educated at Marlborough College,[1] before going up to Brasenose College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford in 1865. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1868, making fifteen appearances.[3] Playing as a right-arm roundarm fast bowler, he took 83 wickets for Oxford at an average of 13.34, with best figures of 7 for 46. He took five wickets in a match on six occasions and took ten wickets in a match once.[4] With the bat, he scored 338 runs at a batting average of 18.77 and a high score of 56.[5] He was considered one of the best Oxford bowlers of his time.[6] While at Oxford, he also played for the Gentlemen in the Gentlemen v Players fixture of 1866.
A year after graduating from Oxford, he made a single appearance for the Gentlemen of England against Oxford University.[3] Fellowes became a Church of England clergyman after leaving Oxford, taking holy orders in 1869.[1] He was the curate of Ormesbury and Mautby in Norfolk from 1869–74,[7] before becoming the vicar of Cumnor in Berkshire from 1874–76. He transferred to Wimpole in Cambridgeshire later in 1876, briefly becoming the rector there, before becoming the rector of Arrington.[2] He remained the rector of Arrington until his death at Papworth Everard in July 1896.
