He was the son of Thomas Fowell Buxton and his wife Rachel Jane née Gurney of Easneye House near Ware, Hertfordshire.[2] He was educated at Rugby School and Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1877.[1][2][3] He was to retain strong links with Rugby: he married Violet Jex-Blake, daughter of the school's then headmaster, Thomas Jex-Blake in 1885 and from 1906 to 1936 was one of the school's governors.[1][2] Violet Buxton OBE was the niece of Sophia Jex-Blake, suffragist and first woman medical graduate in UK.[4]

On leaving Cambridge Buxton entered banking in the City of London, eventually becoming an extraordinary director of the National Provincial Bank.[2][3] He joined the board of the Alliance Assurance Company in 1919, retiring in 1948, aged 94.[2]

In 1892 he was elected to the London County Council as one of four councillors representing the City of London.[5] He served a single three-year term until 1895, but returned to the council as an alderman in 1904, serving until 1922.[6] In 1916–1917 he was Chairman of the County Council.[7]

Outside politics and business, Buxton was a leading member of the Church of England: he was a member of House of Laity of the General Synod, and of the Church of England Pensions Board.[2][3] He made his home at Fairhill, Hildenborough, near Tonbridge, Kent.[1][3] He had three children: Patrick Alfred Buxton, who became the Director of Entomology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Denis Alfred Jex, a wing commander in the Royal Air Force and amateur archaeologist and Violet Elizabeth.[1] A great-great-granddaughter is Dame Cressida Dick, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service.[8]
