Charles Coxe

Nether Lypiatt Manor House

Charles Coxe (c. 1661–17 October 1728), of Lincoln’s Inn and Rodmarton and Lower Lypiatt, Gloucestershire, was an English politician. [1]

He was born the second son of John Coxe of Tarlton, Gloucestershire and educated at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford at the age of 13. He then entered Lincoln's Inn in 1677 to study law, was called to the bar in 1684 and made a bencher in 1707.

As a lawyer he was Clerk of the Letters Patent from 1699 to his death, serjeant-at-law from 1700 and puisne justice (1702-04} and then chief justice (1704-1714) of Brecknock.

He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Cirencester in 1698–1705, 1708 – 10 December 1709 and 23 December 1709 – 1713 and for Gloucester in 1713–1722.

In 1693 he married Catherine, the daughter and heiress of John Chamberlain of Wiltshire and had 4 sons and 2 daughters. He thereby acquired the manor of Nether Lypiatt in 1699, where he built the present house in 1717. The estate passed on his death to his son John. The house is now Grade I listed. [2]
