Fox was born and initially raised at Thurlston Grange near Elvaston, Derbyshire and later Osmaston Hall at Osmaston about 2 miles (3.2km) south of Derby.
The Hall and its associated 4,000 acre (1,600 hectare) estate was owned by the Wilmot-Horten family and leased to the Fox family from 1814 to 1887 and sold subsequently in 1888 to the Midland Railway.
Fox graduated from Cambridge in the winter of 1829 and shortly thereafter became the Vicar of Osmaston.
