Harry Edward Shewring (26 April 1881 – 27 November 1960) was an English international rugby union player.[1]
A native of Keynsham, Shewring played his rugby for Bristol, which he joined as a fullback before establishing himself in the team as a centre three–quarter. He was a regular Somerset representative and gained a total of 10 England caps. This included their 3–3 draw against the 1906–07 Springboks in London, where he swerved past several opponents to help set up his team's only try.[2] He took over as Bristol captain for the 1907–08 season.[3]
