Alfred Fowell Buxton

Alfred Fowell Buxton (28 March 1854 – 5 May 1952) was a British banker and local politician.

He was the son of Thomas Fowell Buxton and his wife Rachel Jane née Gurney of Easneye House near Ware, Hertfordshire. He was to retain strong links with Rugby: he married Violet Jex-Blake, daughter of the school's then headmaster, Thomas Jex-Blake in 1885 and from 1906 to 1936 was one of the school's governors.

Career On leaving Cambridge Buxton entered banking in the City of London, eventually becoming an extraordinary director of the National Provincial Bank. He served a single three-year term until 1895, but returned to the council as an alderman in 1904, serving until 1922. In 1916–1917 he was Chairman of the County Council.

Outside politics and business, Buxton was a leading member of the Church of England: he was a member of House of Laity of the General Synod, and of the Church of England Pensions Board.

Buxton died in 1952 aged 98.
