George Henry Philips JP DL (18 July 1831 – 22 October 1886) was an English first-class cricketer.
The son of Francis Aspinall Philips, he was born in July 1831 at Ardwick, Lancashire. He was educated at Eton College,[1] before going up to Christ Church, Oxford in 1849.[2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University Cricket Club on one occasion in 1853 against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Oxford. Five years later he made a second appearance in first-class cricket, this time for the MCC against Oxford University at Oxford.[3] For Oxford University he played as a wicket-keeper, taking one catch and making one stumping, while across both matches he scored 29 runs.[4] He inherited Abbey Cwmhir Hall in Radnorshire from his father in 1859.[5] The following year he was appointed High Sheriff of Radnorshire and later served as both a deputy lieutenant and justice of the peace for the county.[6][7] Philips died at Abbey Cwmhir Hall in October 1886.[8]
