The son of William Payne, he was born in October 1811 at Clifton, Bristol. He was educated at Harrow School,[1] before going up to Oriel College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1832, making two appearances against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford and Lord's.[3] His score of 52 at Oxford was the second half century made in first-class cricket for Oxford University,[4] following Rice Price's 71 against Cambridge in Oxford's inaugural first-class match in 1827.
