Foxhills first took its name from the 18th Century politician Charles James Fox who came to live in the Surrey area in the 1780s after a troubled life involving heavy drinking and gambling. Forcibly, Charles James Fox resided in Surrey country estate with his wife Elizabeth Armistead. Some years after restoring his body and spirit with the help of his neighbour Sir Joseph Mawbey, 1st Baronet, Charles James Fox died in 1806.
