Herbert Lyon (29 April 1867 – 7 December 1951) was a Jersey first-class cricketer and educator.
The son of William Lyon, he was born at Saint Helier in April 1869. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] before going up to Corpus Christi College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he made three appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University, playing against the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1887 and the touring Australians and the Gentlemen of England in 1890.[3] Lyon had little success in these three matches, scoring a total of 13 runs.[4]
After graduating from Oxford, he became a schoolmaster at Bilton Grange in 1891.[1] He later became the headmaster of Allen House School at Woking. Lyon died at Woking in December 1951.[5]
