The son of the painter Harry Hall, he was born at Newmarket in April 1851. He was educated at Felsted School, where he played for the cricket eleven.[1] He later made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1880. He played first-class cricket for Hampshire until 1886, making eleven appearances.[2] Playing as a wicket-keeper, he took 11 catches and made three stumpings. As a batsman, he scored 198 runs at an average of 10.42, with a highest score of 22.[3] Hampshire lost their first-class status following the 1885 season, with Hall continuing to play second-class matches for the county. Outside of cricket, he was a Chartered Surveyor and a fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors,[1] as well as being a well-known auctioneer and estate agent in the Portsmouth area.[4] Hall died in March 1936 at Botley, Hampshire.[1] His son, Patrick, was also a first-class cricketer and Chartered Surveyor.
