Henry John Bass (14 October 1852 โ 24 January 1904) was an English cricket groundsman who played three first-class cricket matches between 1871 and 1875.[1] Bass played for Kent County Cricket Club and was groundsman at the club's St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury for 25 years.[2][3]
Bass was born in Canterbury in 1852, the son of a wood merchant, and lived all of his life in the city.[3] He played twice for Kent in 1871 and appeared in one match in 1875 but scored only 11 runs in his six innings.[3][4] He held the post of groundsman until his sudden death from a heart attack in January 1904 at the age of 51.[2]
