The son of John Charles Thring, a schoolmaster at Uppingham School, he was born at Uppingham in January 1861. He was educated at Marlborough College.[1] Thring played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Oxford University at Oxford in 1889.[2] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed in for 12 runs by Reginald Moss in the MCC first innings.[3] Thring was a partner in the scholastic agency Askin, Gabbitas and Thring,[4] which recruited schoolmasters to English public schools; the company still operates as of 2023. Thring died in April 1939 at Chilcompton, Somerset.[5] His uncle, Theodore Thring, also played first-class cricket.
