Howard Fox

Howard Fox (10 December 1836 – 15 November 1922) was a shipping agent and played a large part in the economic and cultural development of the town of Falmouth, Cornwall.

At the British Association's Annual Meeting held in Nottingham in September 1893, he read a paper to the Geology Section "The radiolarian cherts of Cornwall".

[8] He served as president of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall in 1893–1894,[9] and in 1897 was awarded the RGSC's prestigious Bolitho Gold Medal.

In 1878, he seconded a motion at a public meeting of Falmouth Chamber of Commerce, urging the Government "to maintain in the present crisis [The Russo-Turkish War] the principles of strict neutrality".

[16] He was born on 10 December 1836 at Wodehouse Place, Falmouth, the third son of the twelve children of Alfred Fox (1794–1874) and his wife, Sarah Lloyd (1804–1890).

Sir, The recent cold snap must have spoiled the floral beauty of most English gardens but did not reach the south west of Cornwall, so here they remain in very exceptional winter luxuriance.
