Francis Phillips Fenner (1 March 1811 – 22 May 1896) was an English cricketer for Hampshire and other teams. A right-arm fast bowler, Fenner took 176 wickets from his 54 first-class appearances from 1829 until 1856.[1]
He established Fenner's cricket ground in Cambridge in 1848 on land which he had leased. The ground is still used by Cambridge University for their home fixtures.[2]
