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 educated at Rugby School and Trinity College Cambridge, graduating in 1877. 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. 

On leaving Cambridge he entered banking in the City of London, eventually becoming an extraordinary director of the National Provincial Bank. He joined the board of the Alliance Assurance Company in 1919, retiring in 1948, aged 94. 

In 1892 he was elected to the London County Council as one of four councillors representing the City of London. 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. He made his home at Fairhill, Hildenborough, near Tonbridge, Kent. He had three children: Patrick Alfred Buxton, who became the Director of Entomology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Denis Alfred Jex, a wing commander in the Royal Air Force and amateur archaeologist and Violet Elizabeth. A great-great-granddaughter is Dame Cressida Dick, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service.

Buxton died in 1952 aged 98.
