COXE, PETER (d. 1844), poet, was a son of Dr. Coxe, physician to the king's household in the reign of George II, and a brother of the Venerable William Coxe, archdeacon of Wiltshire [q. v.] He was educated at Charterhouse School, which he entered at the age of ten on a presentation from George II, performed by George III, and left when only thirteen. He followed the business of an auctioneer in London, but having obtained a competency spent his later years in retirement. He was the author of an anonymous poem published in 1807, entitled ‘Another Word or Two; or Architectural Hints in Lines to those Royal Academicians who are Painters, addressed to them on their re-election of Benjamin West, Esq., to the President's Chair;’ of a political tractate published in 1809, entitled ‘The Exposé; or Napoleon Buonaparte unmasked in a condensed statement of his Career and Atrocities;’ and of ‘The Social Day, a Poem in four Cantos,’ published in 1823. He died 22 Jan. 1844.

COXE or COX, RICHARD (d. 1596), divine, matriculated as a pensioner of Christ's College, Cambridge, on 27 Nov. 1578, proceeded B.A. 1581–2, and on 16 Dec. 1583 was incorporated in that degree at Oxford, where he proceeded M.A. 1584 as a member of Gloucester Hall. On 17 May 1589 he was instituted to the rectory of Diss, Norfolk, on the presentation of Henry, earl of Sussex, but the earl's right being disputed, Coxe was ejected and an incumbent whom the earl had previously ejected re-entered. In November 1591 Coxe was reinstated, but before long was again turned out. At last, having obtained the queen's letters patent to void all other presentations, he was, on 2 Dec. 1593, instituted to the rectory for the third time, and held it until his death, which took place in 1596. He wrote ‘Richard Coxe, his Catechisme,’ printed by T. Orwin, 1591, 8vo, and, Wood believed, also published some sermons.
