Alexander Hugh Hore (24 September 1829 – 7 April 1903) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.
The son of James Hore, he was born in September 1829 at Camberwell. He was educated at Tonbridge School,[1] before going up to Trinity College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Cambridge University at Lord's in The University Match of 1851.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 2 runs by Edward Blore in the Oxford first innings, while in the Oxford second innings of 140 all out, he was unbeaten without scoring. In a match which Cambridge won by an innings and 4 runs, Hore took one wicket in the Cambridge innings, that of William Norris.[4]
After graduating from Oxford, Hore took holy orders in the Church of England in 1873. His first ecclesiastical post was as curate of Plympton from 1859 to 1862,[1] before serving as a Chaplain to the Forces from 1861 to 1874.[5] He retired in 1874, after which he resided at Eastbourne and wrote a number of books on the church.[1] Hore later moved to Cheltenham, where he died suddenly in April 1903.[6]
