John Coxed

John Coxed (died 1757)[1] was an English academic, Warden of New College, Oxford, from 1730 until 1740.[2]

Life

Coxed was born in Bucknell, Oxfordshire, son of the Rev. John Coxed. He was educated at New College where he graduated BCL in 1725 and DCL in 1730.[2] He is credited in 1739 with the LL.D. (Legum Doctor) rather than the D.C.L. (Doctor of Civil Law) degree.[3]

Leaving New College, Coxed was Warden of Winchester College from 1740, replacing Henry Bigg who was his predecessor also at New College.[1][4]

Death and family

Coxed died in 1757 and his widow Cecilia placed a monumental inscription at Winchester.[5] She was the daughter of Isaac Selfe and his wife Penelope Lucas, daughter of Charles Lucas, 2nd Baron Lucas, and had previously been married to James Wallis (died 1735); and died in 1760.[6] Paul Methuen MP was the son of her sister Anne.[7]
