Henry Barrington "Tim" Tristram (5 September 1861 – 1 October 1946) was an English sportsman who played international rugby union for England and first-class cricket. [1]

Tristram was the only son (among many daughters) of the clergyman and ornithologist Henry Baker Tristram. He was educated at Loretto School, Winchester College and Hertford College, Oxford. [2]

Tristam played his rugby as a fullback and took part in the inaugural Home Nations Championship in 1883, debuting in England's final fixture against Scotland. England won the championship that year and he was also a member of three further campaigns, including their second title win in 1884. [3]

From 1883 to 1893, he played with the Durham County Cricket Club, but his matches didn't have first-class status. [4] His only first-class match came when he was studying at Oxford in 1883, representing the university against the Gentlemen of England. A right-handed batsman, he came in at four in each innings, but scored just six and one. [5]

In 1903, he replaced his brother in-law, Hely Hutchinson Almond, as Headmaster of Loretto School. He remained in that position until 1908, when he was forced to retire south because of delicate health. [6] He taught for four more years at St Paul's School in London, but then retired even further south to Jersey.
