The Reverend Allan Cowburn (later known as Allan Cowburn-Masters-Smith; 16 January 1820 – 8 October 1875) was an English first-class cricketer and clergyman.
The son of William Cowburn, he was born in January 1820 at St Pancras. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] before going up to Exeter College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, Cowburn played three first-class cricket matches for Oxford University in 1841, playing twice against the Marylebone Cricket Club and once against Cambridge University in The University Match.[3] Playing as a bowler, he took 12 wickets and took a five wicket haul on a single occasion.[4] After graduating from Oxford, he took holy orders in the Anglican Church. He was the vicar of Tidenham in Gloucestershire from 1854 to 1862.[2] He later changed his surname to Cowburn-Masters-Smith. He died in October 1875 at Meopham, Kent. His son, William, was also a first-class cricketer.
