George Dunsford Barne OBE (6 May 1879 — 18 June 1954)[1] was a Jamaican-born British cricketer who played for Somerset County Cricket Club and an Anglican priest who became Bishop of Lahore from 1932[2] until 1949.
Educated at Clifton College[3] and Oriel College, Oxford,[4] Barne picked up a single first-class appearance for Somerset[5] against Oxford University in 1904. Somerset lost the match by an innings margin, with Barne picking up one run in the first innings and nine in the second as a tailend batsman. Barne's brothers-in-law, Alexander Streatfeild-Moore and Edward Streatfeild, played first-class cricket in the late 19th century, the former playing county cricket for Kent, the latter for Surrey.
After a short period as a schoolmaster, he was ordained in 1904 and after a curacy at St John the Baptist Summertown, Oxford he became a Missionary in India, eventually rising to be Principal of the Lawrence Royal Military School, Sanawar before appointment to the episcopate.[6] He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 1919 New Year Honours.[7]
His last post was as Vicar of Harthill, South Yorkshire, although he died in Hammersmith.
