Edward Moxhay
1787–1849 (age 62)
Biography
Edward Moxhay was a London property dealer who championed the enforcement of restrictive covenants; the case bearing his name clarified that newcomers to a parcel of land should honour the promises of their predecessors and shaped public confidence in urban development.
He spent his later years in the north of the city, tending to the estates he had long managed and supporting local improvements, before passing away in 1849 and being laid to rest in Highgate Cemetery.
