Reverend George Lillie Wodehouse Fauquier (30 November 1798 – 26 February 1887) was an English first-class cricketer who had a four-match career for Cambridge University between 1819 and 1821.[1]

Born in Hampton Court to Thomas Fauquier and Charlotte Townshend, he was one of ten children,[2] and attended Pembroke College, Cambridge.[3][4] He scored the majority of his 29 career runs on 24 May 1819, against Cambridge Town Club,[5] and managed to take four wickets in each of the next two seasons.[6] He went on to become a vicar of West Haddon in Northamptonshire, authoring Readings and Addresses To Be Used With the Order for the Visitation of the Sick in 1869.[7]
