John Rouse Bloxam
(died 28 March 1840), under-master of Rugby School for 38 years, and rector of Brinklow and vicar of Bulkington, both in Warwickshire, who married Ann, sister of Sir Thomas Lawrence.
All the six sons were foundationers at Rugby School, and all attended, as chief mourners, the funeral of Lawrence in St Paul's Cathedral.
Bloxam was appointed by his college to the vicarage of Upper Beeding, near Steyning in Sussex, in February 1862, and vacated his fellowship in 1863.
He is a prominent figure in William Holman Hunt's picture of the ceremony on Magdalen College tower on May day morning.
His Register of the presidents, Fellows, Demies, Instructors in Grammar and in Music, Chaplains, Clerks, Choristers, and other Members of St. Mary Magdalen College, Oxford, came out in seven volumes, describing the choristers, chaplains, clerks, organists, instructors in grammar, and demies.
The appendix to the third volume of E. M. Macfarlane's catalogue of the college library contains a Catalogus operum scriptorum vel editorum by its chief alumni which Bloxam had gathered together.
It ends abruptly on page 286, having been discontinued on account of a similar publication entitled Hierurgia Anglicana brought out by the Cambridge Camden Society.
He possessed four volumes of Opuscula, containing many letters of Cardinal Newman and prints of persons at Oxford, which went to the manuscripts in Magdalen College Library.
