¹West Midlands Gazette - 1926 May 29
PERSONALIA The Rev. Henry Elliott Fox, who has just died at the age of 80, was born in Southern India and educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. He entered Lincoln's Inn, but elected for the Church instead of the law, and was ordained by Dr. Samuel Wilberforce to an Oxford curacy. Four years later he came to Christ Church, Westminster, as its Vicar, until 1882 when he went to St. Nicholas's, Durham. In 1887 he joined the late Edward Clifford on a mission to India, and visited the missions in Madras which had been founded by his father nearly half a century before. In 1895 he was appointed secretary of the Church Missionary Society, and until 1920, when he resigned, the work grew in power and volume under his administration. His prebend in St. Paul's Cathedral came to him in 1901.
