Ken Barrington was a keen member of the Lord's Taverners and in his honour they named the Under-13 Competition winner's silver cup the "Ken Barrington Trophy". There are Ken Barrington Pavilions at Reading, his birthplace, and Great Bookham. Two roads in Reading are named after him, both being on the site of cricket grounds used by Berkshire County Cricket Club. "Barrington Way" is on the site of Courages Cricket Ground in Coley Park, whilst "Barrington Close" is on the site of Church Road Cricket Ground in Earley.
