The Rev. John Charles Cox (1844-1919) was perhaps one of the most influential English local historians of the nineteenth century. Anyone studying early modern Derbyshire quickly comes across his work. He published dozens of books, including calendars of local records, a four-volume history of Derbyshire churches, and a detailed study of All Saints, Derby.
A brief biography of Reverend Cox – who was born in Parwich – has just been published on the “Mercurius Politicus” blog. If you have an interest in our local history, then it’s well worth a read.
