J. Crowther Cox is an artist. 8 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

J. Crowther Cox spent his life pointing a camera at old buildings, especially churches, before the stones could forget their stories. He liked the way light hit carved saints and weathered coats of arms, so he returned to the same places year after year to catch the moment when late sun turned gray marble gold. In the 1940s he stood inside Winchester Cathedral with his tripod until the shadow of a Joan-of-Arc statue stretched just right across the floor.
