The son of Cornish Henley, he was born at Sherborne in November 1846. He was educated there at Sherborne School, where he played for and captained the school cricket team.[1] He played first-class cricket for Hampshire in 1866, making a single appearance against Surrey at The Oval.[2] Playing as a wicket-keeper in the match, he batted twice and was dismissed for 7 runs by George Griffith in Hampshire's first innings, while in their second innings he was dismissed by Thomas Humphrey for 9 runs.[3] Henley was by profession a doctor and was resident at Woodbridge in Suffolk until his death there in December 1916.[1] His son, Francis, was also a first-class cricketer, as was his brother Robert.
