The son of Hugh James Hare, he was born in May 1857 at Docking Hall at Docking, Norfolk. He was educated at Uppingham School, before going up Exeter College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against the Gentlemen of England at Oxford in 1879. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1880, making a total of eight appearances.[2] In his eight matches, Hare scored a total of 126 runs at an average of 11.45 and with a high score of 38 not out.[3] His county cricket was for Norfolk, for whom he played minor matches for until 1890.[4]
