Trenchard Cox
Sir George Trenchard Cox CBE, MA, FSA, FMA (1905–1995) was a British museum director.
==Early years==
Cox was born on 31 July 1905 in London to barrister William Pallett Cox and Marion. He was educated at Eton College and then at King's College Cambridge where he took a first class degree in modern languages tripos. Away from studying languages he was encouraged by family friend Cecil Harcourt-Smith (1859–1944), director of the Victoria and Albert Museum (1909–24) to develop an interest in the arts. This was inspired further by Sydney Cockerell, director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge (1908–37), to pursue a career in museums.
Cox started work as a volunteer at the National Gallery, London and then in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum. During this time he spent a semester at Berlin University studying Art History. He spent a short time at the Sorbonne which led to him writing a study of the French Renaissance painter Jehan Foucquet in 1931. In 1932 Cox became assistant to the Director, Sir James Mann, at the Wallace Collection. During this time he developed a keen interest in the decorative arts of eighteenth-century France and went on to contribute to the catalogue of the exhibition of French Art at Burlington House.
In 1935 he married Maisie Anderson. In the summer of 1939, with Mann abroad, Cox was charged with organising the Wallace Collection's evacuation from London. After this time he became private secretary to Sir Alexander Maxwell, the permanent under-secretary at the Home Office.
