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]
