This week saw the 100th birthday of Oxfordshire’s oldest living cricketer. Nathaniel Fiennes played one Minor County match for Oxfordshire against Cornwall in 1938 as wicket-keeper. Still an Eton schoolboy, he scored 26 and took 3 catches in the county’s victory by 10 wickets.

He is now better known as Lord Saye and Sele becoming the 21st Baron of the family seat at Broughton Castle near Banbury in 1968.

During the second world war, he he served in the Rifle Brigade. In April 1945, Fiennes and his regiment, the 8th Battalion of the Rifle Brigade, were among the first troops to reach Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Below is an incredible video showing Fiennes in a BBC interview this year before the pandemic meeting one of the survivors of the Second World War.
