Career
Originally from Walberton, near Chichester, he came to Hambledon to play after being "spotted". Barber finished playing in 1777. He is said to have bowled a "high delivery on a good length" and was probably a medium quick bowler.
His family and that of Thomas Brett were inter-married.
Barber seems to have been a shoemaker but he latterly took over the Bat and Ball Inn (see also Broadhalfpenny Down) from Richard Nyren. He died aged 71 in 1805 and was buried in Catherington.
