William Inge (4 July 1829 – 23 May 1903) was an English clergyman and academic, who became the Provost of Worcester College, Oxford. He was also a first-class cricketer.
The son of Rev. Charles Inge and his wife Mary Anne Oldershaw, he was born in July 1829 at Kegworth, Leicestershire. He was educated at Shrewsbury School,[1] matriculating at Worcester College, Oxford in 1849, graduating B.A. in 1853.[2] While studying at Oxford, Inge made two appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1853, appearing against Cambridge University and the Marylebone Cricket Club.[3] In the match against Cambridge, he took a five wicket haul.[4]
Inge was elected a Fellow of Worcester College in 1853, a position he held until his resignation in 1859.[5] He took holy orders in the Church of England in 1857, with his first ecclesiastical posting being at Crayke, North Yorkshire as curate, a post he held until 1875. He took up the post of vicar at Alrewas, Staffordshire in 1875, which he held until 1881.[1] Inge was the provost of Worcester College from 1881 until his death at Oxford in May 1903.[1][6]
