George Hoare
George Matthew Hoare (19 April 1779 – 28 July 1852, in Brighton) was an English brewer and amateur cricketer.
Brewery[]
Hoare was the third son of the banker Henry Hoare of Mitcham Grove, and his wife Lydia Henrietta Malortie. He was a partner in the Red Lion Brewhouse in East Smithfield, from 1802. His father had bought the business, and it later became Hoare and Co.[1][2][3]
The Hoare & Co. brewery existed until 1934, and for a number of generations was passed down in the Hoare family. Following a string of acquisitions after World War I, it was taken over by Charrington Brewery in 1933, and closed down the year after.[2][4] Charringtons adopted Hoare's toby jug trademark.[5] With its 1967 merger with Bass Brewery, the Bass red triangle trademark incorporated a toby jug profile.[6]
Cricket[]
Hoare as a cricketer was mainly associated with Surrey and he made five known appearances in first-class matches, from 1807 to 1812.[7]
Family[]
Hoare married in 1810 Angelina Frances Greene, daughter of James Greene of Lancashire; they had nine children.[1] His sons Charles Hugh Hoare and Henry James Hoare, his grandson Charles Twysden Hoare, and a great-nephew Henry William Hoare, all played first-class cricket.
With his wife, Hoare was commemorated in a painted glass window at St Lawrence Church, Morden.[8]
