Maurice Foxell
Maurice Foxell KCVO (Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order), the son of Canon The Reverend William James Foxell was born in 1888 - check - in the precincts of Canterbury and was educated at Christs Hospital School and Queen's College, Oxford. He was the fourth of five brothers. He married Marnie Fountaine and they had four children, two boys and two girls. He was fairly newly married and had these four children still young when war was declared in 1914 and unlike his four brothers, he decided not to volunteer for the armed forces because he felt it was more important that he should be with his very young family. He became a clergyman first at St George's, Windsor and then he became Canon and Succentor at St. Paul's Cathedral where he lived in Amen Court, which is in the precincts of the cathedral. Having left St Paul's Cathedral, he became Domestic Chaplain to King George VI and as such held the posts of Deputy Clerk of the Closet, Deputy Subarmenor and at the same time became the Rector of St James's, Garlichythe. The number of inhabitants in the parish was very small but there were a number of functions which he was required to attend, including those at the various vintner's halls within the parish. He continued in these posts until his retirement, by which time of course he was Domestic Chaplain, not to George VI but to Queen Elizabeth.
During his Royal appointment he and his family lived at Marlborough Gate. At one point the Queen asked him to move to Buckingham Palace but he declined to do this because of all the complications of entry and exit from Buckingham Palace and so stayed at Marlborough Gate where he was the Clergyman in charge of the Queen's Chapel at St James's. He and his family also had a house at Woldingham called Nether Court, and I stayed with them there after the war. Maurice Foxell was a keen and gifted artist, both a print-maker and a water-colourist, his works always being landscape and he exhibited in the City of London Club and also with Parson Painters. He had exhibitions in Bond Street. I attended his funeral in the chapel of St James's Palace in 1990 - check date.
He wrote a children's book called Ferdinand the Bull.
