Frederick Robert Beart (6 July 1850 – 4 March 1895) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
The son of Robert Beart, a brick and tile manufacturer, he was born at Godmanchester in July 1850.[1] He was educated at Marlborough College,[2] before going up to Wadham College, Oxford.[3] While studying at Oxford, Beart made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Oxford in 1871.[4] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed without scoring in the Oxford first-innings by Frank Farrands.[5] After graduating from Oxford, he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Huntingdon Militia.[6] He was promoted to captain in March 1880 and the following year in July he was appointed as a justice of the peace for Huntingdonshire.[7][8] By 1886, Beart was serving with the King's Royal Rifle Corps and in April of that year he was promoted to major.[9] He died at Godmanchester in March 1895. His son, Charles, also played first-class cricket.
